Condola Hicks Jr., 20, was shot in the chest and died on September 15, 2019, near the Millenia neighborhood in Orlando, Florida. He was discovered about 2 p.m. and died after being taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Orange County investigators say the shooting occurred during a botched robbery connected to a planned $120 marijuana sale. Arrest paperwork alleges Kenneth Franklin, 19, and Hicks had arranged to rob a third man. According to the warrant, Hicks drew a gun on the intended robbery victim, a struggle for the weapon ensued, the gun discharged and Hicks was fatally struck. The robbery victim left the scene and the gun was left behind.

Franklin was arrested and charged with second-degree felony murder under Florida law because a death occurred during the commission of a felony; he was held without bond and faced possible life imprisonment if convicted. What additional details about the meeting or the people involved might help explain how this sale turned deadly?
