Florida Woman Not Charged Following Fatal Walmart Parking Lot Shooting

Melissa Payne will not be charged after she shot a man dead at point-blank range. Payne will not be charged for the shooting death of 62-year-old Bart Diguglielmo, due to the state’s stand-your-ground law, per ABC News. The shooting occurred in a North Lauderdale, Florida, parking lot in June over a parking spot dispute.

Broward State Attorney’s Office Homicide Trial Unit Division Chief Stephen Zaccor announced the decision in a memo on Tuesday, September 3.

“A dispute over a parking space,” wrote Zaccor. “In a Walmart parking lot. The facts surrounding the June 30, 2026, homicide of Bart DiGuglielmo are as tragic as they are absurd. There is relatively no dispute about what actually happened because the entire incident was captured by various video recording devices.”

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office said that prosecutors were not able to prove Payne wasn’t in fear of great bodily harm or for her life during the altercation, according to The Miami Herald.

Video Captures Walmart Parking Lot Shooting

Video of the dispute and subsequent shooting shows Diguglielmo leave his car in a travel lane after he tried to take the same spot as Payne. In addition, multiple witnesses said they heard him threaten her. Additionally, one witness claimed he was “visibly angry” as he looked at Payne.

DiGuglielmo reportedly threatened to “mess her car up” and “**** her sh*t up” before he got back into his car and sped off, only to return soon after. Payne was with her niece and niece’s baby at the time of the altercation, and she got out of her car with a gun in her hand. She held her phone in the other hand as she reportedly spoke to her husband. Payne told DiGuglielmo to leave her alone. In addition, the video shows her backing away repeatedly as she points the gun at him. However, he didn’t stop moving until Payne fired.

The memo states:

“If you keep coming up to me,” said Payne, per the ABC. “I’m going to ******* shoot you!”

Zaccor also said in the memo that Payne was in a public place where she had a right to be.

“A Walmart parking lot, and therefore was in a place she had a right to be…. therefore she was not doing anything unlawful at the time she used deadly force,” he wrote.

Man Who Murdered Trayvon Martin Used Stand Your Ground Law As Defense

As The Shade Room reported, George Zimmerman, the man who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin as he was walking home from the store with a bag of Skittles, used the law to argue self-defense.

Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch volunteer when he approached Trayvon on his way home back in 2012 in Stanford, Florida. An altercation reportedly ensued, and he shot the unarmed teenager to death. However, he was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter. Zimmerman claimed he feared for his life under the stand-your-ground law.

A Miami-Dade Circuit Judge later ruled that lawmakers overstepped their authority when they modified the law that year to force prosecutors to disprove self-defense claims.

Ervin Joaquin Gutierrez is now facing a murder charge after a family gathering in New Mexico reportedly took a devastating turn when a disagreement between two cousins escalated far beyond the kitchen. What started as a night of cooking and drinking allegedly ended with 25-year-old Nathaniel Cavazos losing his life.

Gutierrez Remains In Custody Following Fatal Family Dispute

According to reports, Gutierrez was arrested Saturday, Aug. 29, and charged with an open count of murder. He remains in custody as of Wednesday, Sept. 2, according to online records for the Metropolitan Detention Center. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney. Authorities say the deadly incident happened Aug. 27 at an Albuquerque apartment complex, where Gutierrez had reportedly traveled from Roswell to cook green chile enchiladas with family.

An Enchilada Debate Allegedly Escalated Into Deadly Violence

A cousin who told investigators he was related to both men reportedly said Gutierrez and Nathaniel Cavazos began arguing over whose enchiladas were spicier. The disagreement allegedly escalated into a physical altercation. Gutierrez then allegedly shot Cavazos in the back three to four times as he attempted to walk away. A witness reportedly told investigators the two men were standing about 10 feet apart at the time. Gutierrez allegedly fled before officers arrived shortly before 11 p.m., and Cavazos was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gutierrez Allegedly Asked If Cavazos Was Really Dead

Following the shooting, Gutierrez allegedly contacted family members through Snapchat and asked, “Is he really dead?” He reportedly claimed that Cavazos had threatened him first, allegedly writing, “I did not want to kill him but i didn’t want him to kill me.” Meanwhile, Cavazos’ loved ones and neighbors gathered for a vigil, remembering the 25-year-old as someone who was kind, laughed often, and went out of his way to help others. One neighbor described him as someone who would help residents, including people with disabilities, while another said it was heartbreaking that such a kind person was taken by violence so close to home. Cavazos’ family attended the vigil but reportedly told local news they were not ready to speak on camera.

Whew! It looks like there may be more to the story when it comes to Serayah and Joey Bada$$. After weeks of speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship, a recent run-in with TMZ has the internet raising a few eyebrows and wondering if there’s been a change behind the scenes.

Serayah Spotted Out As Joey Bada$$ Questions Swirl

The actress and model was recently spotted out in West Hollywood, where she was asked directly about where things stand between her and the rapper. While she kept things relatively brief, her answers were enough to get folks talking. According to TMZ, Serayah was spotted Tuesday night at West Hollywood hotspot Craig’s. She was seen getting out of a car and appearing to walk across the street toward the restaurant when reporters approached her. Serayah, who wore her curly hair down with an orange skirt and an olive-greenish top that showed some skin, politely greeted the reporters with a “hi” before responding, “good, how are you?” when asked how she was doing.

Serayah Has Folks Wondering Where Things Stand

When the conversation turned to Joey, Serayah appeared to keep things positive, telling the reporters that she and the rapper were “doing great.” She also indicated that the two are “hoping for the best.” And when asked whether she and Joey still speak, Serayah responded, “yes, we do speak.” However, she did not answer when asked whether she had returned her engagement ring.

The brief interaction was enough to send social media into speculation mode, with some interpreting Serayah’s comments as a possible sign that she and Joey had worked through their issues privately. But while her comments may have left the door open for interpretation, comments from her representative reportedly suggest that the situation isn’t quite what some may have assumed. For now, Serayah’s “we’re doing great” comment has certainly given the internet something to talk about, especially as fans continue to wonder exactly where things stand between the two.

What’s Going On Between Them?

ICYMI: Serayah previously revealed that she called off her engagement to Joey Bada$$, describing the decision as “difficult” after alleging repeated infidelity throughout their relationship. The couple, who went public with their romance in 2023, share a son named Joey, whom they welcomed last year. In her statement, Serayah said she loved deeply. She also said she wanted to protect the family they were building. Ultimately, she said she had to listen to her intuition and choose herself.

She also stressed that she wasn’t looking for sympathy or retaliation. Instead, she encouraged other women to recognize red flags and not compromise their values or self-worth to hold onto a relationship. While she said she respects Joey as the father of their son, Serayah made it clear that their child’s peace remains a priority. She also wants him to maintain a relationship with both of his parents. Serayah added that she would not publicly discuss the intimate details of their relationship beyond what she had already shared. She acknowledged that the chapter didn’t end the way she had hoped, but said, “endings can also be beginnings.”

Roomies, the legal situation surrounding Kroy Biermann Jr., the eldest son of reality TV stars Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, is reportedly getting more serious as the case continues to make its way through the Georgia court system. New court filings are shedding more light on what prosecutors are alleging — and the latest development means Kroy Jr. is now facing multiple charges stemming from accusations made by a female classmate.

RELATED: Kim Zolciak Claps Back Amid Reports Of Temporarily Losing Custody Of Her Kids With Kroy Biermann (UPDATE)

Kroy Jr. Faces Seven Charges In New Indictment

According to court documents, a Georgia grand jury reportedly indicted Kroy Jr. on Thursday in connection with allegations involving a female classmate. The indictment reportedly contains seven charges tied to an alleged incident that took place inside a gym changing room. The charges reportedly include aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of aggravated sexual battery involving a child under 16, and false imprisonment.

One of the aggravated sexual battery allegations reportedly accuses Kroy Jr. of making unwanted physical contact with the alleged victim. It’s important to note that these are allegations contained in the indictment. Kroy Jr. is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in court. The latest development comes after Kroy Jr. was arrested last month following a months-long investigation into the allegations. His mother, Kim Zolciak, has publicly denied that her son did anything wrong and has continued to stand by him as the legal process unfolds.

Kroy Jr. Previously Appeared In Court Seeking Bond

Before the indictment was reportedly issued, Kroy Jr. appeared before a judge as his attorneys sought bond while the case moved forward. His legal team reportedly highlighted several factors they believe should weigh in the court’s decision, including Kroy Jr.’s academic record, scholarship opportunities, and ties to the community. His attorney also reportedly told the court that Kroy Jr. had taken a polygraph examination and answered two questions related to the allegations.

However, the specific questions asked during the examination were not disclosed. The reported results were also not made public. The bond request is part of the broader legal process now underway. Attorneys on both sides are preparing for the case to continue through the Georgia court system. A bond decision would determine the conditions under which Kroy Jr. could remain out of custody while the case continues.

Kim Zolciak Has Spoken Out

The case has also drawn attention because of Kroy Jr.’s well-known family background. His parents, Kim Zolciak and former NFL player Kroy Biermann, have spent years in the public eye through reality television and their highly publicized family life. Kim has previously spoken out in defense of her son and denied that he committed the alleged conduct. Her comments come as the family continues to deal with the legal situation privately while the case remains pending.

Kim Zolciak has previously spoken out about the matter, sharing in a statement: “The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.”

What Happens Next?

The next stages of the case are expected to play out in a Georgia court. With the reported indictment now in place, Kroy Jr.’s attorneys can continue working on his defense. Meanwhile, prosecutors are expected to move forward with the case. Additional hearings could provide more information about the bond, potential restrictions placed on Kroy Jr., and other procedural matters. If the case ultimately goes to trial, prosecutors would be required to prove the charges against him. They would have to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

For now, Kroy Jr. remains legally presumed innocent, and the allegations have not been proven in court. Any future court rulings or filings could provide additional insight into the case. They could also shed light on what comes next for the reality TV family’s eldest son.

There is already one movie based on Shields’ life, the 2024 film ‘The Fire Inside,’ and she was asked about a future biopic during an interview with The Shade Room.

The boxing pro was asked if she could have any actress play her in a hypothetical movie based on her next chapter, who would she prefer? Shields admitted that she didn’t watch many movies, but she listed the Academy Award-winning actress, Angela Bassett.

Shields also listed Keke Palmer, and for Papoose, she named Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, and Jabari Banks.

BroRilla Pops Off Following Shields’ Interview

BroRilla shared a video on Instagram, and it would appear that she didn’t agree with Shields’ imaginary movie cast.

Woods delivered a passionate monologue with her unfiltered opinion on the matter, and she admitted that she was trolling Shields in the clip for talking about her relationship with her sister, GloRilla.

“You think Angela Bassett would play you?” asked BroRilla, in part.

See the full video below.

Fans Defend Shields After BroRilla’s Critique

After BroRilla’s video was shared on TSR’s Instagram page, Roomies took to the comment section to defend Shields’ imaginary cast.

User @faithdonna.z wrote, “Y’all acting like she submitted the casting budget to Hollywood 😭 She was asked who she WANTS to play them, not who y’all approved. Let sis have her dream cast 😂.”

While @sway_thepro added, “Damn she can dream big. That’s the goal. Think and dream BIG! Crazy that people make fun of it. Smh That’s why she’s a goat and some people stuck in life because they don’t dream big enough. Like why do we have to tear each other down? Sh*t is sad.”

Additionally, user @teeteeswivae added, “Why are y’all upset that she mentioned she’ll luv if her fav actress & actor play in her biopic. People really just be mad about anything now in days 🤦🏾.”

BroRilla may not think Chestnut looks enough like Papoose for a non-existent biopic, but several fans thought of someone they think who does.

Furthermore @kichainz had another suggestion that several users co-signed. “Well Brorilla you look like a good fit to play Pap 🤷🏾‍♀️.”

While @raquellashaun added, “im deadd🤣🤣🤣.”

Additionally, user @sky_nina220 replied, “lol I always put lol’ but this right here made me laugh FORREAL 😭😭😭😭.”
