Miami: This is as daring as it gets.
A teenaged suspected of killing a woman in Florida returned to the scene of crime a few hours later and gunned down a television reporter and a nine-year-old girl, AFP reported.
Keith Melvin Moses, 19 — believed to be the culprit — has been taken into custody, informed Orange County Sheriff John Mina.
Moses first attacked a 20-year-old woman at Pine Hills, a suburb in Orlando, on Wednesday noon local time (9.30 pm IST).
Some hours later, a team from Spectrum News 13 reached the spot to report on the murder, Mina said at a news conference.
Moses came back shortly after 4 pm (2.30 am IST) and opened fire on a Spectrum camera operator and a reporter, who stood near their vehicle. The reporter died while the cameraperson was badly wounded, the sheriff added.
The gunman then entered a nearby house and shot a woman and her nine-year-old daughter.
The victims were rushed to the hospital, but the minor girl and TV reporter succumbed to bullet injuries.
“We have detained the person believed to be responsible for the murder this morning, as well as the shootings this afternoon,” Mina said.
The suspect had a ‘lengthy criminal history’ that included ‘gun charges, aggravated battery and assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and grand theft charges.’
The motives behind his latest crimes are yet to be established.
