Hours after allegedly killing a woman in the Orlando area, the alleged shooter returned to the area and killed four more people, including a reporter who was there to cover the initial shooting and a 9-year-old girl, according to Florida police.

The murdered reporter was named Dylan Lyons on Thursday by Spectrum News 13. Also hurt was photographer Jesse Walden.
On Wednesday afternoon, when the two were covering the first homicide in an unmarked news car, a guy approached and shot them, according to Orange County Sheriff John Mina. Next, the attacker entered a neighboring house, where he shot and killed a girl and seriously injured her mother.
Keith Melvin Moses, 19, who authorities suspect is responsible for all of the shootings, has been captured, according to the sheriff.

Police, according to Mina, were not immediately aware of the shootings’ motivation. He claimed that while Moses did not seem to be connected to any of the other victims, he was familiar with the first victim.
He observed that their vehicle didn’t resemble a conventional news van or have the station’s emblem on it and claimed it was unclear whether Moses realized that two of the guys shot were journalists.
After the mother and daughter, Lyons and Walden were shot while covering the shooting hours later, according to police and witnesses. The WFTV crews, who were also covering the morning shooting, attempted to provide the Spectrum 13 reporters with medical attention.
