A 24-year-old TV reporter for Spectrum News was shot and killed yesterday while covering the crime scene of a 20-year-old woman who was murdered in that location in the morning.
The reporter Dylan Lyons was engaged and only four years out of college.
The woman’s killer, 19-year-old suspect Keith Melvin Moses, returned to the location to kill the reporter and critically injure the photojournalist. He then went into a nearby house, killed a 9-year-old girl, and critically injured her mother.
The news station said the reporter and photographer were shot inside their vehicle. Both men were taken to the hospital, where Lyons died, and Walden remains in critical condition.
According to Spectrum News 13, Lyons is a University of Central Florida graduate. He joined the news station in July 2022.
His obituary is already posted. He was described as a dedicated reporter who loved the community.
“He took his job very seriously. He loved his career. He loved what he did,” said Spectrum Sports 360 reporter and friend Josh Miller. “He loved the community, telling the stories of people, reporting on the news, and he was just passionate about what he did.”
Yesterday, award-winning reporter at Spectrum News 13 in Orlando, Dylan Lyons, was murdered in a mass shooting in Pine Hills. Dylan was a loving acting father for his niece and nephew and was only 24 years old.

Moses is a criminal with a significant rap sheet, including gun charges.

Moses smirked as he was arrested.
Saddening doesn’t describe what Spectrum News 13 is going through tonight in Pine Hills, Florida…
Sickening is what we feel now, more than ever. We are a nation sick with violence.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture.
Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant, can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
I never heard before of a murderer returning to the scene to murder a reporter reporting on the first murder. You can bet the murderer did not have a father figure and never did his homework.
“Moses is a criminal with a significant rap sheet, including gun charges.” When will white people wake the hell up and demand that these violent savages be put behind bars away from the rest of us? They destroy most every big city where they live. Their parents are useless. Put a lot of the blame on LAWYERS, who run a revolving door justice system for profit. Blame judges too, as they are also lawyers.
Most don’t have “fathers”. I had a father. They, sadly, had sires, sperm droppers.
“Sickening is what we feel now, more than ever. We are a nation sick with violence.”
we are a nation sick with a low iq, no impulse control, violent, resentful, entitled, lazy, greedy, demanding cancer
We know that but what do we do about it? Nothing.
They DO walk among us….
