Antonio Harris Jr., a 21-year-old African American man from Orlando, Florida, was killed on September 13, 2015. The shooting took place early morning on the 600 block of 18th Street after an argument escalated. A gunman approached Harris during the altercation and shot him multiple times at close range; he was pronounced dead at the scene from several gunshot wounds.

Investigators tied the shooting to a domestic dispute. Witnesses said Harris was trying to intervene in a physical altercation between 29-year-old Dernard Martin and Martin’s girlfriend, Erica Tipps, and told Martin you don’t touch girls. Martin allegedly retrieved a pistol and fired, striking Harris three times. Martin was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; Tipps was arrested on accessory after the fact charges for giving false information and was released on $2,500 bail while Martin was held without bail.

Does anyone have additional details about Harris, the events that night, or witnesses who haven’t yet spoken publicly?
