Nineteen-year-old Arthur Adams was shot and killed by a Florida Walmart customer after Adams was suspected of shoplifting diapers.
Investigators said Adams and another man were stealing two carts of diapers when a store employee confronted them in the parking lot.
The 50-year-old customer noticed what was happening and got involved.
Authorities said Adams reached for something, which made the customer feel threatened. The customer then pulled out a gun and fired several shots.
Adams was shot, along with a teenage girl who was with the suspects.
The identity of the gunman and whether or not he even had a legal right to carry a firearm are all unknown at this time. But it sounds like his story of feeling “threatened” is shaky enough to warrant charges.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office will likely recommend prosecutors bring charges against an individual accused of killing 19-year-old Arthur Adams outside a Wal-Mart near Orlando over the weekend, authorities told WFTV 9, a local ABC affiliate.
