MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The three adult suspects accused in the fatal shooting of NFL player Sean Taylor have been placed on suicide watch, defense attorneys said Tuesday.
Venjah K. Hunte, 20, Jason Scott Mitchell, 19, and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18, appeared in court Tuesday via videoconference wearing thick green vests, which the attorneys said were suicide safety smocks.
Circuit Judge W. John Thornton Jr. ordered them held without bail at the Miami-Dade Pre-Trial Detention Center.
The three are charged with felony first-degree murder, burglary with a firearm and home invasion robbery while armed.
A fourth suspect facing the same charges, Eric Rivera Jr., 17, is being held in Fort Myers. Attorney Wilber Smith said he thinks his client will be transferred to a Miami-Dade juvenile detention center some time Tuesday.
The four were arrested Friday, officials said. Watch as some of the suspects had profiles on MySpace »
Taylor, 24, died a day after he was shot during an apparent burglary at his Miami-area home. Miami-Dade police investigators believe the suspects thought the house was empty.
