Florida Journalist & 9-Year-Old Girl Killed Near Scene Of Earlier Homicide
A reporter named Dylan Lyons, 24, and a 9-year-old girl named T’yonna Major were tragically killed in a senseless act of violence on Wednesday afternoon.
Four People Were Shot In The Wake Of A Homicide
The situation unfolded down in Orlando, Florida, and it took place as Lyons and Spectrum News 13 photojournalist Jesse Walden were at the scene of an earlier homicide, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
At around 4 p.m., the shooter—who’s reportedly also suspected of committing the initial homicide—opened fire on the journalists. After shooting Lyons and Walden, the perp also proceeded to gun down T’yonna Major and her mother.
Major and Lyons ultimately did not survive, and the other two victims are being treated for their injuries.
Shortly after the tragedy, Orange County authorities apprehended a 19-year-old suspect named Keith Melvin Moses.
This is 19-year-old Keith Melvin Moses, the suspect in a series of shootings today that left three dead, in OCSO custody. This is a sad day for our community. Three were murdered today, including a woman in her 20s, a 9-year-old girl and a @MyNews13 employee. pic.twitter.com/DXXkxzRHl5

I’m still saddened and heartbroken when I found out the news yesterday in Orlando about my former TV20 coworker and friend Dylan Lyons. I remember every time I got a chance to go to the station in Gainesville we would always joke and talk his favorite Philly sports teams. pic.twitter.com/SQTQynZIS1

My coworker and a 9-year-old baby lost their lives today. Struggling to find the words, but I said what I could here. Thank you to everyone for checking in, and for the kind words of support for our entire team at @MyNews13 pic.twitter.com/0jXrKd6dKV
