TikTok Stars Island Boys Home Raided Resulting in Arrest of Suspect Who Killed 8-Year-Old Girl

On Monday, a SWAT team invaded the home of TikTok stars Island Boys, resulting in the arrest of a 20-year-old murder suspect.

According to WPBF, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Andrew James Thomas was involved in the shooting of Ronziyah Atkins, an 8-year-old girl, three days prior.

Despite a search warrant being served at the Coral Springs residence, the Island Boys did not appear to be involved in the investigation.

According to the Island Boys manager, Dovi Bezner, Thomas crashed on their couch two days before the raid and that they had “no idea any of this was going on.”

“We just knew him as a quiet kid, and he would come and hang out and do his thing and go back to whatever he got going on, but we had no clue about any of these allegations toward him,” Benzer said. “We just knew him as a good person, someone who grew up with the Island Boys.”

In the incident, which was later proved to be a drive-by, Thomas faces charges of first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, and felon in possession of a firearm.

According to investigators, shots were fired at the home where the girl was killed on Sunday, but no one else was injured.

Witnesses told WPBF the girl was shot while playing outside her house with family members.
