Investigators are getting a first hand look at what the 5 suspects in a Franklin County murder case may have been thinking before, during and after a shooting that killed a pizza delivery driver.

Just this week, Commonwealth’s Attorney Larry Cleveland filed hundreds of text messages into evidence. The texts span all throughout the month of December.

The hundreds of text messages among the suspects tell a story of sex, drugs, and scams, but nothing compares to the conversations from the night police say Banta was robbed and murdered.

Many of the texts are a conversation between Brooke Kennedy and Cameron Montgomery. Both are charged with complicity to robbery and murder in this case.

Sheriff’s deputies said that night, minutes after talking about scamming someone, Kennedy texted Montgomery to videotape out the apartment window. A few minutes later, she tells Montgomery that person wasn’t coming, saying “he knew we were setting him up.”

She later said she’s trying to find a lick, slang for getting a large amount of money in a short amount of time.

Soon Kennedy reveals the next prospective victim — Jared Banta. A text message from Kennedy says, “they’re gonna point the gun at batas (sic) head and paige is gonna have to get out the car and run back to hers.”

Phone records show around the same time, Banta was texting Victorya Paige Young. Young is one of two people charged with Banta’s murder and robbery.

Young tells banta she’s in the back of country hills apartments after he texts her that he just got off work. Banta was found dead in that parking lot the following morning.

The following day, the conversations continue.

Montgomery texted Kennedy saying there’s no way anyone can track them. They discuss deleting messages and pictures.

When Montgomery finds out Kennedy and Young are at the Sheriff’s office, she says “brooke, I’ll legit kill whoever snitched if you get in trouble.”

All three women, including the two others charged in this case, remain in jail. Their bond has been set at 500-thousand dollars.
