PATTERSON, Judge.
Douglas Porter appeals from his judgment and sentence for first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, and attempted robbery with a firearm and contends that the trial court erred in failing to sever the offenses. We agree and reverse for new trials.

On April 3, 1993, Jason Hartman, an employee of Chuck-E-Cheese’s Restaurant in Lakeland, was leaving work at approximately 12:40 a.m. As he was attempting to start his car, a man approached him, told him to open his doors, and threatened him with a sawed-off shotgun. Hartman jumped to the other side of the car, opened the door, and ran. As he was running away, he looked back and saw the stranger getting into his car. The stranger attempted to start the car, but the engine died on him. Hartman identified codefendant Albert Leon Fletcher as the person who pointed the shotgun at him. In a taped statement, Porter said that Fletcher could not start Hartman’s car, so Fletcher jumped back in the car Porter was driving and they drove off.
At 1:30 a.m. on April 3, 1993, at the intersection of Harden Boulevard and Drainfield Road in Lakeland, a motorist drove up on a car parked in his lane of travel, which was blocked by a larger car parked diagonally in front of it. The motorist saw a person exit the passenger side, look in his direction, and hurry to the larger car which then drove away. The motorist found a pay phone and called 911. The driver of the parked car, Nelson Oliveras, died of massive bleeding from a gunshot wound to the neck.

In his taped statement, Porter admitted that the plan was to stop and take money from Oliveras, but that there was not supposed to be a shooting. Porter said that Fletcher shot a hole in Oliveras’ tire to stop his car and Porter pulled in front of the car. Fletcher got out and told the man to give him money. After hearing a shot, Porter saw Fletcher trying to get the man’s wallet. The victim’s blood type was found on the passenger side of Porter’s car and on the sawed-off shotgun in Porter’s car.

The state charged Porter and codefendant Fletcher with first-degree murder
of Nelson Oliveras (count I), attempted armed robbery of Nelson Oliveras (count II), and robbery of Jason Hartman (count III). Porter filed a motion to sever counts I and II from count III, which the trial court denied. After a jury trial, Porter was found guilty as charged.
