A 22-year-old man turned himself into police for fatally shooting a father of 14 who tried to de-escalate a fight between two teenagers, one of whom was his daughter.
Miami-Dade Police say 47-year-old Johnny Stevenson Jr. was shot on Tuesday at Northwest 14th Street and First Court in Florida City during a fight between two high school students.
Stevenson had learned his daughter was involved in a fight on a school bus that spilled over onto the street at the bus stop and went to intervene.
Cellphone video caught the two teenage girls exchanging blows on the bus. Another video caught the fight on the street where a large crowd gathered to watch.
“She maced me,” Stevenson’s 15-year-old daughter told CBS Miami. “Once she maced me, we started fighting.
Police say Stevenson tried to end the fight, but the situation only escalated when another man interfered and started shooting.
“The person who shot my dad pulled my best friend away and then he pulled my mama,” Stevenson’s daughter recalled. “That’s when my dad seen him, then the boy shoved my dad, my dad shoved him back, and then the boy pulled out the gun and shot him.”
