"Gabriella Long, 17, is charged with killing her own grandfather, along with her boyfriend, Chris Cortez, 19, Mercedes Hall, 16, and 20-year old Devin Cunningham.
Investigators said Monday they stabbed Joseph Monka, 71, to death in his Edwardsville home, which he shared with Long.
"We have very young defendants charged with killing an elderly member of this community, yes, and it is a heinous crime," said Assistant Luzerne County District Attorney Jarrett Ferentino.
According to court papers, the group killed Monka on Monday, with Cortez admitting to stabbing Monka in the neck.
Cortez told police Cunningham beat Monka with a golf club.
After he was dead, police said the four stole Monka's vehicle, a Kia Soul, and about $30,000 from his safe.
Investigators found the stolen vehicle at Red Roof Inn in Plains Township.
They arrested Long, Cortez, and Hall there, too, but did not find Cunningham.
"You would think they would be older. because kids, you wouldn't think something like that, a younger generation like that, you know, just a shame," said Elwin Mays of Edwardsville who lives just up the street from the crime scene.
Monka's body was not discovered until Wednesday when family and friends got concerned they hadn't heard from him."
