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 allegedly striking and killing a teenager with his vehicle. The teen was suspected of breaking into the owner's shop before the fatal hit-and-run. The case has drawn attention because it raises questions about whether the shopkeeper's actions amounted to self-defense or an unlawful act of retaliation, and how prosecutors will balance the burglary claim against the murder charge.
Why now: The unusual circumstances — a burglary victim facing a murder charge for running down the suspected thief — are sparking debate over self-defense limits.
