Florida journalist gunned down while covering scene of earlier fatal shooting

A Florida journalist and a 9-year-old girl were gunned down Wednesday afternoon by a suspect wanted in an earlier fatal shooting at the same scene, authorities said.

Two others were also wounded, including a second Spectrum News 13 journalist, in the 4 p.m. gunfire on Hialeah Street in Pine Hills, according to Orange County Sheriff John Mina.

The unthinkable horror began around 11 a.m. when the suspected gunman, 19-year-old Keith Melvin Moses, allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old woman sitting in a car on the street, Mina said.

Moses allegedly returned to the scene five hours later and fired rounds at a Spectrum News 13 crew who were there reporting on the initial homicide.

Both a News 13 reporter and photographer who were in and near their news van were shot. The 24-year-old reporter, identified by family early Thursday as Dylan Lyons, died. The photographer was hospitalized in critical condition, Mina said.

Shortly after, Moses allegedly stormed into a house on Hialeah Street, where he shot a 9-year-old girl and her mother. The child died of her injuries in the hospital, while her mother is fighting for her life, the sheriff said.

Officers arrested Moses following the later shootings and confirmed he was also a suspect in the slaughter of the 20-year-old woman. He was charged with one count of murder for the morning killing and is expected to face further charges for the second and third shootings, Mina said.

He was armed with a handgun β€” which officers believe is the murder weapon β€” when apprehended by police.

β€œAt 19, he had a lengthy criminal history to [sic] include gun charges, aggravated battery and assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, and grand theft charges,” Mina said of the suspect.

I saw this story on several channels this morning before they finally showed a picture of the perp. No comment.

Perp is a member of the black feral animal cult and unable to live in a civilized society.

Definitely another instance of White supremacy.

Perp doesn’t fit the Media-Dem Party narrative, so this story will go down the Memory Hole, and no Say Their Names rallies for the victims.

Poated elsewhere a question about the percentage of legal guns used in murders. Since then the best number I can find is 6%, which means 94% are illegal. No doubt this one was also. Point is no gun control would have prevented it.

Hair do control would have, but that would be culturally discriminatory. No one looking like that should be allowed out let alone at a crime scene.

With his criminal record, he should never have been let out.
