A Florida robbery Saturday ended up far from whatever two men had expected after one victim grabbed his gun.
The incident took place at about 7 p.m. in Dania Beach, according to WTVJ-TV.
Two robberies took place at a 7-Eleven. A victim was robbed at gunpoint in the store’s parking lot.
Justin Kessel, 19, is suspected of that crime, police said.
The suspect then entered the store, where a clerk was robbed. So far, everything was going according to plan.
But while the suspect was robbing the store, the victim decided he had had enough of being a victim and went to his car to retrieve his gun.
As the suspect left the store, instead of his getaway vehicle, he found the robbery victim with a gun. The suspect was shot by the victim, who fired multiple shots at him.
The victim then kept his gun on the suspect while waiting for police. However, while he was waiting, the driver of the getaway vehicle entered the picture.
The victim said a Honda CR-V attempted to run him over, but he was able to avoid the vehicle. The robbery victim then fired more shots, hitting the vehicle.
Kessel was taken into custody by police.
Police later found the vehicle that had been shot at during the incident.
Melvin Presley, 40, was found wounded in the vehicle. Presley had multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

This story makes me sad. A Honda CR-V is a good vehicle. Now it has bullet holes and blood in it. That won’t be good for the resale value. I hate to see a good car wasted.
We want accurate reporting. We want to know the type and caliber of the gun.
In a world of Charlottes, be like Florida.
What does Yogi say about this? The usual suspects?
The poor writing trend continues.
But this incident had a good ending.
Looks like all black.
Actually, the victim turned hero was black as well.
and that is how you reduce crime
Florida doesn’t have the best gun laws in the nation - Kentucky does, I think - but what I love about Florida is that perps are bad and victims are good guys. My understanding is the families of the perps cannot launch a civil suit about the shooting because their ‘victims’ are perps, and Florida law knows the difference. Fact checks are welcome. It’s been a couple of years since I took the CCW course and got my permit.
That’s even better considering the Black-on-Black crime that goes on. I wonder if he’s a Trump supporter?
Gotta love FL. It is frightening to think how this might have played out in IL, CA or NY.
“Melvin Presley”
Reminds me of this comedy sketch with Elvis Presley and Milton Berle (starting at 6:45)

GOOD!!!
This is how the numerous, egregious problems in the "black community" will get solved: by "black" people deciding to step up and solve them. Nobody else will: Nobody else CAN.
“””The robbery victim was questioned by police and later released.”
-
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is what is supposed to happen to this hero......NOTHING.””
Thank God for Texas AND for Florida. At least we have two states that uphold the law as it should be upheld.
Someone will sue him ... just wait.
At the end of the article
“BSO detectives are working with the Broward County State Attorney’s Office to determine if further charges will be filed against the adult victim in this case,” the sheriff’s office said”
Sounds like they are trying to find something to use against the victim.
A man identified only as Rodney told reporters the incident happened quickly.
~~~~~
People of good will need to wake up and prepare for how quickly life-threatening events take place.
Quite the opposite. The robbery victim/trash removal expert is also black. Good shooting, Dark Stranger.
The robbery victim/trash removal expert is also black.
“Idolator! Your soul is required in Hell!”
final paragraph in original story omitted by gateway pundit:
“An investigation into the incident is ongoing and detectives are working with the Broward State Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges will be filed against the robbery victim.”
