ACTUAL PRESS RELEASE SENT TO MEDIA:
On April 27th four young men were in the Target store located in Kissimmee, Florida. Two of them were teenage boys who entered the store and were suspected of shoplifting Pokemon Cards and a pizza, with the combined value of approximately less than $40.
Information indicates that Osceola County sheriff deputies physically followed the teenagers inside the store and allowed and watched the juveniles exit the store. Under the watchful eye of Sheriff deputies, the boys entered their car without being stopped or detained, even though probable cause would have existed to stop and detain them if the deputies were witness to an alleged petit theft.
As the young men, including teenagers, commenced slowly driving off, several unmarked deputy vehicles moved in to box them in. From all the information obtained to date, the deputies never identified themselves as law enforcement and were in unmarked vehicles. As the car continued to drive off, the deputies, without legal cause or justification, fired multiple gun shots into their vehicle without regard for the safety of the occupants or civilians in the area.
