FORT MYERS: Sources tell us that four people have been detained in Lee County in connection with the murder of NFL star Sean Taylor and authorities are searching for a fifth.

Detectives from the Miami area are in Lee County participating in the investigation.

We have learned the names of two of the people being detained - 17 year old Eric Rivera and 18 year old Charles Wardlow.

Sources tell us the person who is the alleged shooter has confessed.

A source also tells us the suspects broke into Sean Taylor’s home a couple of weeks ago to get "a large sum of money." They went back a week later and tried to get that money, and that is when the shooting happened.

"Police say four suspected burglars from across Alligator Alley were responsible for the slaying of NFL star Sean Taylor -- and relatives of one suspect said he had attended a birthday party held at the football player's home.

Miami-Dade police announced Friday night that the men face charges in the death of the Washington Redskins football star following a weeklong manhunt that drew the scrutiny of national media.

"We have confessions, but I'm not going to talk about the details of the confessions at this point," Miami-Dade Police Director Robert Parker said at a news conference in Doral.

The family of suspect Jason Mitchell, 19, told The Miami Herald that he had attended a party for Taylor's half-sister, Sasha Johnson, at Taylor's Palmetto Bay home. Investigators believe Taylor's relatives may have bragged about his wealth.

Police also arrested Charles Wardlow, 18, a cousin of Johnson's boyfriend. Also cuffed were Eric Rivera, 17, and Venjah Hunte, 20. All face murder charges.

Investigators late Friday were still trying to figure out who shot Taylor.

As is common in such cases, the four gave detectives conflicting statements and blamed one another.

Under Florida law, anyone who commits a felony that leads to a death can be charged with murder."
