(CNN) -
Three teenagers from Miramar, Florida, will be charged as adults in the death of a high school classmate who police say was found brutally beaten, stabbed and hiding in some bushes at their apartment complex.
The Broward County State Attorney's Office said Tuesday it will indict the suspects, a man and two women, as adults, and formal charges are expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
An arrest warrant was issued for the three suspects on Oct. 22, charging them with first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy and tampering with evidence, according to Tania Rues, a public information officer for the Miramar Police Department.
They are being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center awaiting trial.
The victim was 18-year-old Dwight "DJ" Grant, according to CNN affiliate WPLG.
Miramar police say the killing was premeditated, citing text messages sent between two of the suspects about a week before the stabbing that were revealed in the arrest affidavit.
According to the affidavit, the dead teenager's mother contacted authorities on October 19 after reviewing surveillance video from her compound, where she said she saw "two men beating her son, while a woman watched."
She told police that she had not seen her son since October 17.
The responding agent found evidence of blood where the alleged beating that the mother had seen on surveillance video occurred and discovered the deceased teenager in the bushes with a broken knife on the ground in front of the body, the affidavit says.
Police say surveillance video from Oct. 17 shows the three suspects, a 17-year-old man, a 17-year-old woman and a 16-year-old woman, exiting an apartment building together and walking to the crime scene. where the victim lived.
One of the suspects told detectives that the male suspect was in possession of a large sword and a small knife at the time.
The suspect told detectives that the other teenager lured the victim outside and then onto a staircase.
According to the text messages revealed in the affidavit, the suspected woman previously made plans by text message to have sex with the victim, the pretext used to get him out of his apartment on the day he was killed, the affidavit says.
According to the affidavit, the victim was held, beaten and stabbed.
Text messages revealed by police between two of the suspects show that the male suspect was upset with the victim because he believed the victim had had sex with his ex-girlfriend.
"Detectives spoke with that ex-girlfriend and she said the sexual relationship was consensual," Rues told CNN.
CNN has reached out to the Broward County Public Defender's Office, which represents two of the suspects.
CNN also reached out to attorney Joshua Fisher, who is representing the third suspect, for comment.
"May our patriot forever rest in peace," Miramar High School principal Loli Formoso said in a tweet.
"Please pray for the Dwight Grant family, friends and our community. I spoke with Ms. Grant to offer our condolences on behalf of the Patriot family."
Police say they are withholding surveillance video related to the incident pending approval from the Broward State Attorney's Office.
