WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The families of the teens killed in a triple shooting last year are working to raise the reward money for anyone who can help find the killer.

Carley Chapman, 19, Se'Sawn Danford, 17 and Martavious Brown, 17 were shot at the Hampton Court Apartments in Mangonia Park on August 4, 2014.

After more than a year of waiting for justice, family and friends decided to take matters into their own hands and raise the reward money being offered. An anonymous donor recently bumped the reward from $1,000 to $10,000. A series of fundraisers aim to increase the reward even more.

The first is a large yard sale being held Sunday from 8am to 2pm. Community donations filled a 26-foot long box truck, and family members unloaded it early Sunday morning in a shopping Plaza on Military Trail near Royal Fern Way in Palm Beach Gardens.

Family members will hold additional fundraisers in the weeks to come. They hope offering a larger reward will encourage someone to come forward with more information about what happened.
