A 19 year old is facing two counts of first degree murder and one count of armed burglary in the deaths of two women in Largo, Florida, according to an arrest affidavit filed by the Largo Police Department.
Police say Sage followed the women home after seeing them in public earlier on Monday, entered through a bedroom window and fatally stabbed a woman who was asleep. A second woman who tried to help was also killed, according to the affidavit. Police say the two women were a mother and daughter who lived together. Sage was injured during the struggle and went to a neighbor’s home, where police were called.
The affidavit says Sage later admitted to following the women and stabbing them. Largo police Lt. Scott Gore said investigators believe it was a random act with no known relationship between the victims and the suspect, though that could change as the investigation continues.
A former co-worker told local media he was shocked, describing Sage as nice and quiet. Sage is being held without bail at the Pinellas County Jail. At a court appearance on Tuesday he said he could not afford an attorney, and the public defender’s office was assigned to the case. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
