The 19-year-old accused of fatally shooting three people in Florida, including a TV journalist and a 9-year-old girl, is a "known gang member" who had a lengthy rap sheet that included arrests on grand theft and domestic violence charges, according to officials and his criminal background.
Keith Melvin Moses was taken into custody Wednesday evening following the carnage in the Pine Hills area, a community of around 66,000 just west of Orlando.
Moses, armed with a Glock 40, allegedly fatally shot a woman found around 11 a.m., returned to the scene hours later and opened fire on a TV reporter and a photojournalist before entering a home and shooting a woman and her 9-year-old daughter. The first woman, the TV reporter and the 9-year-old died. The girl's mother and the photojournalist were hospitalized in critical condition.
Orange County Sheriff John Mina said the suspect was a "known gang member" but the shootings were not gang-related.
Moses had a rap sheet dating back to January 2018, when he was 14, and stretching through 2022, according to his criminal record by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The most serious of his charges include grand theft, battery - domestic violence, and armed robbery.
He was arrested in January 2018 on a grand theft of a motor vehicle charge that was amended to misdemeanor trespassing in Orange County Court. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced in February 2018 to a year of community control, which is essentially house arrest. Under community control, a person is confined to the home outside of work, school, public service hours and other officer-approved activities, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
That same month, Moses was arrested and charged with domestic violence battery, touch or strike, records show. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to a concurrent year of community control.
In 2015, he was arrested on a burglary charge, pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed.
In the following years, he had arrests after allegedly resisting an officer and violating his imposed release conditions, according to records. He was rearrested several times on failure to appear in court charges.
Moses was arrested Wednesday evening, charged in the initial slaying. Mina said Thursday he is confident the suspect will be charged in subsequent killings.
Moses shot the woman found around 11 a.m., later identified as Nathacha Augustin, 38, as she was sitting in a car with a friend, Mina said Thursday.
According to the arrest warrant, Augustin was hanging out with her friend in the car when the driver saw the suspect, Moses, walking on the road.
The driver told deputies that the suspect “seemed down” and he offered him a ride.
Moses entered the back of the car, sitting behind Augustin, and just 30 seconds later, the driver heard a “loud bang” and saw Augustin bleeding, according to the arrest warrant. The driver pulled over and called police and Moses ran from the scene, the warrant said.
The driver said that he hadn’t heard any argument between the suspect and victim and “did not know each other.”
