Racist Suspect Florida Politician Charged with Murder for Shooting Unarmed Latino Man who Posed No Threat Walking Away From Him, Exiting Store
From [HERE] A racist suspect city commissioner in central Florida was indicted on the charge of second degree murder in the death of a suspected shoplifter at his military surplus store earlier this month, a state attorney said Friday.
The Oct. 3 shooting was captured on store surveillance and showed Lakeland City Commissioner Michael Dunn firing at Christobal Lopez, 50, at the front door of Dunn's Vets Army & Navy Surplus.
Dunn could be seen grabbing Lopez, an agricultural laborer, as he tried to leave, then firing a semiautomatic Glock at him. Lopez was holding a hatchet in his right hand that belonged to the store, police said, but wasn't seen in the video physically threatening Dunn.
Dunn, who was booked into Polk County Jail, has not commented about the incident. Second degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
