Florida store owner charged with murder after hit-and-run kills teen

Original: Central Florida store owner charged with murder after hit-and-run kills teen who allegedly broke into shop

A Central Florida store owner has been charged with murder after a hit-and-run that killed a teenager who allegedly broke into his shop. Authorities say the driver struck the teen and left the scene, and prosecutors determined the response went far beyond lawful self-defense. The case has drawn attention because it tests the limits of property-defense claims in Florida.

Why now: The charge raises contested questions about where self-defense ends and criminal retaliation begins, making the case widely debated.
