JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two people are in the Duval County Jail facing attempted murder and home invasion robbery charges.
In 2018, police say, Jose Rosas was robbed in his home on the Southside. Investigators said he was set up and lured through the Snapchat app.

A new arrest warrant said when she was in Rosas’ home, Lexus Triplett asked him for an Advil. When Rosas came back out, she and two men attacked him.
The report said Triplett and Michael Wheeler tied the victim up with bedsheets and an extension cord, robbed him, stabbed him and slit his throat.
At one point, one of the male suspects said to Rosas, “Since you know her, we are going to have to kill you.”
Rosas was able to get free and get help from a neighbor.
Deputies in St. Johns County arrested Triplett and Wheeler on a similar robbery case where deputies say the two lured another man through the Tinder dating app.
A police report said when Triplett went outside to get cigarettes, she came back in with Wheeler and tied a man up with bed sheets at gunpoint.
Deputies also said he was robbed.
Court records show the two were adjudicated guilty on some of their St. Johns County charges in that case.
If convicted in Duval County, the two could face life in prison.
