OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Osceola County Sheriff’s detectives arrested two men for an armed home invasion that happened early Monday morning.

Timothy Justin Shafer, 19, and Garrett Lloyd Lewis, 21, have been charged with Armed Home Invasion, Grand Theft and Petit Theft. They will be booked into the Osceola County Jail.

Deputies say they responded to the Neptune Bay apartment complex in St. Cloud at about 2:29 a.m. According to reports, four male victims said they were sleeping when three masked gunmen entered the apartment. The victims said the suspects took personal items and fled the area in a black Chevrolet Trailblazer. Deputies set up a perimeter and located the vehicle near the Wal-Mart in St. Cloud.

Detectives say the incident was retaliation from a drug related incident.

Deputies are still looking for the third suspect.

Investigators didn't rule out that one or more of the victims could also end up facing charges. As a result, FOX 35 has learned that apartment managers will begin the process of evicting the roommates. One manager, who did not want to be identified, said it's a drug free community and other unrelated complaints have forced them to take action against the two roommates on the lease.
