WELLINGTON, Fla. — A suspect accused of fatally shooting a Wellington couple on Saturday confessed to killing them over a dispute related to a basketball hoop, deputies said.
...
As they were conversing, "at no point during this encounter" was Taylor Jones recorded being aggressive or threatening, detectives said.
However, investigators said the video showed Scott "was clearly upset and appeared to be yelling at Taylor Jones" while both appeared to be looking and pointing toward the basketball hoop that rested between both homes.
A short time later the affidavit said Scott reached into his right side and retrieved a handgun. Taylor Jones backed away with both hands raised, but Scott continued to follow him while pointing the handgun at the victim.
...
As Taylor Jones began stumbling backward, detectives said Scott fired about three to four shots. As Taylor Scott was falling to the ground and lying on his back, investigators said Scott continued shooting.

🎶I even put that basketball underneath my pillow
Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night🎶
An animal that should have been removed from society years ago.
If this guy really attended church I can guarantee it wasn’t a Christian church, but rather a social justice cult church that told him he was a perpetual victim. Sounds like an animal that needs to be put down.
Adding to my post #35 above...
Voter records also list the killer - he’s registered as a Republican.
The is no question about this guy’s guilt.
He needs to be hung at noon in the county square. Or do we just need to finance the legal industry
I know that in Colombia, Jones is pronounced as if it were spelled Ho-nez.
I expect it’s the same in any Spanish speaking country.
If justice prevails, he'll be voting democrat for a hunert years...
He could have just shot the basketball(s) repeatedly if necessary.
I imagine the sound of a family of 6 playing hoop right next door frequently drove him insane.
RIP to the dead and prayers for the kids
Since Colin Flarhaty died is anyone keeping a list online e of blacks killing whites?
But black on white murder is now a misdemeanor.
The father is black the mother is white, that is what the picture shows!!!
“ They are Hispanic at least the father is and the kids are half.”

So what. That does not make them black, racist.
Haha, that’s great. I’m just the grumpy infanty vet that nobody wants to be around.
What’s the worst word you can call a black person that starts with n and ends in r?
Neighbor
“...proceeded to shoot him...”
Is there no editing of stories anymore?
Copy editors were among the first people the old “newspapers” axed when they started going out of business. Sometimes it’s hard to believe they even have spellcheck.
Lesson - never dis a Black man. They will kill you.
Watch any of the newer ‘crime shows” (1st 48, 48 Hrs,etc) and you hear this again and again
Cop: Why did you shoot him?
A - He dissed me. Or - He mean mugged me.
Scott is most correct.
at least the wife is white...
I will diss anybody I want, but I never diss anybody so there’s that....we have to stop tippy toeing around these people but be prepared....
