An off-duty Walmart employee is accused of killing a good Samaritan who stepped in between him and another Walmart employee during a dispute, Florida law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
Tironie Sterling, 22, allegedly went to the Fort Lauderdale Walmart where he worked in order to meet with a female colleague on Tuesday afternoon. The two got into an argument that escalated into a physical fight.
A male customer who witnessed the fight came to the woman’s aid, but Sterling pulled out a gun and shot the man several times in the chest, back and lower extremities, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said.
The victim was airlifted to a local hospital but later died of his injuries. His name has not been officially released by police.
Sterling fled the store after the shooting, but was arrested hours later, investigators said.
