Dylan Lyons was 24 and a television reporter for Spectrum News 13 in Orlando when he was killed while reporting in Pine Hills on February 22, 2023. Lyons and his photojournalist, Jesse Walden, were covering a homicide scene tied to the earlier shooting death of Nathacha Augustin. A man identified as 19-year-old Keith Melvin Moses returned to the scene, opened fire on the news crew, killing Lyons and critically wounding Walden.

After shooting the journalists, the shooter entered a nearby home and fatally shot 9-year-old T’yonna Major and critically wounded her mother, Brandi Major. Orange County deputies arrested Moses later that day. He was indicted on multiple charges, including three counts of first-degree murder, and entered a not guilty plea; the case remained in pretrial proceedings with an intellectual disability claim reported by the defense.

Lyons, a University of Central Florida graduate and Spectrum News 13 reporter since July 2022, was remembered by colleagues as a passionate storyteller. He is survived by his parents, two sisters, and his fiancée, Casey Fite. Does anyone have information or recollections from Pine Hills on February 22, 2023, that could help clarify the timeline that afternoon?
