Keith Melvin Moses Allegation
Moses Accused Of Three Shootings. “Three people are dead — including a 9-year-old child — and two others are in critical condition after a series of three shootings in Orange County, Florida, on Wednesday. Also dead are a woman in her 20s and a member of a Spectrum 13 news crew, Orange County Sheriff John Mina said. Another member of the news crew and the 9-year-old’s mother are in critical condition, he said. Deputies have arrested Keith Melvin Moses, 19, who is the suspect in all three shootings. Mina said he was an acquaintance of the woman killed in the morning shooting but investigators don’t know why he returned to the scene in the afternoon and say he had no known connection with the news crew or the woman and her daughter.” [CrimeOnline]
