The Florida journalist killed while reporting at the scene of an earlier homicide in Orlando Wednesday has been identified as 24-year-old Dylan Lyons.
Lyons was named as the slain Spectrum News 13 reporter by his older sister and fiancée who created and shared a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover his funeral costs.
“The love of my life was murdered. I will never be the same person ever again,” his devastated fiancée Casey Lynn tweeted with a link to the GoFundMe page. “Please help my family and I during this time.”
Lyons, who would have turned 25 next month, was shot along with his News 13 coworker by a gunman accused in the earlier shooting that they had been reporting on.
Keith Melvin Moses, 19, allegedly gunned down a 20-year-old woman that morning and then returned to the scene five hours later. He allegedly fired at Lyons and a News 13 photographer before entering a nearby house where he continued his rampage, shooting a 9-year-old girl and his mother, authorities said.
Lyons and the young girl both died, while the other two victims were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
