FL Man Killed in Dispute

A deaf 20-year-old who allegedly tried to steal a WaveRunner was shot and killed by a 14-year-old in Miami Saturday afternoon. The teen grabbed a shotgun during a confrontation with the accused, Reynaldo Muñoz. The Davis family claims Muñoz threatened them and the teen was protecting his family, but Muñoz could not have verbally threatened anyone because he used sign language and was deaf, according to a family friend. Police say the Davis' statements have been inconsistent. Authorities say the family at first claimed Muñoz was armed, but then changed their statements, hired attorneys, and refused to speak with investigators any more.
