Original: Central Florida store owner charged with murder after hit-and-run kills teen who broke into shop
A Central Florida store owner has been charged with murder after authorities say he deliberately struck a teenager with his vehicle. The teen had reportedly broken into the man's shop before the fatal hit-and-run. The case has drawn attention because the business owner faces murder charges despite the teen allegedly committing a burglary against him, raising questions about whether the use of force was justified.
