Florida Man Kills 9-Year-Old Girl, TV Journalist After Returning to Scene of Previous Shooting

A Florida man killed a 9-year-old girl and a TV journalist just hours after shooting a woman he knew.

Keith Melvin Moses is still a teenager, currently 19, facing charges of shooting multiple people in the same area.

On Wednesday afternoon, a TV journalist and a young girl were fatally shot near the area where a fatal shooting occurred earlier in the day in central Florida.

According to TODAY, the Orange County Sheriff, John Mina, stated in a press conference that they had arrested a suspect named Moses, whom they believed was responsible for both shootings in the Orlando region.

The incident occurred at 4 P.M. on Hialeah Street in Pine Hills, and two additional individuals were injured, including another News 13 journalist.

Florida man kills multiple people after returning to crime scene

According to Orange County Sheriff John Mina, 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 around 11 A.M.

On Wednesday morning, deputies were called to the Pine Hills neighborhood, just northwest of Orlando, in response to reports of a woman in her 20s being shot.

The unthinkable horror began at this moment. However, later that day, a Spectrum News 13 crew was in Pine Hills, covering the slaying of the woman in her 20s, when Moses returned to the scene five hours later.

He fired at the reporter and photographer, a TV crewmember, in or near a vehicle, one of whom died. It was also later confirmed that he had fired at a second journalist.

According to AP News, WFTV crews, who were also reporting on the morning shooting, tried to give medical aid to the Spectrum 13 journalists.

Witnesses reported that a man approached the news vehicle later Wednesday and opened fire, hitting the two reporters.

The man then walked to a nearby home and shot a mother and daughter. The 9-year-old girl later died. The other people that were shot, including the crew member, the second journalist, and the mother of the 9-year-old girl, were in critical condition at a local hospital.

The authorities clarified that Moses had no connection to the reporters or the mother and daughter.

Sheriff Mina acknowledged the terrible day for the community and media partners while speaking to reporters. He said no one in their community should suffer from gun violence.

The Florida man, who was an acquaintance of the woman killed earlier that day, is being charged in her murder and will be charged in the four other shootings later, Mina said.

Florida man's criminal history

According to the New York Post, the Orange County Sheriff said the suspect in the shooting, Keith Melvin Moses, had a lengthy criminal history, including gun charges, assault with a deadly weapon, grand theft charges, aggravated battery, and burglary.

It was still unclear whether or not Moses knew that the people he shot were from the news media.

The sheriff noted that the news crew's van was not identifiable as a news van, but the photographer's equipment was visible.

Police apprehended Moses with a handgun, which officers believed was the murder weapon.

He is already facing a murder charge for the initial victim, and charges are expected soon for the other four victims.

The sheriff mentioned that the suspect is not saying much, but the investigation into the incidents is ongoing.
