Fight Between Friends Over Pool Pump Led To Deadly Shooting, Sheriff Says
HuffPost
The victim's ex-wife said that the two men were close friends and that she and her family were shocked by the shooting.
A Florida man is accused of fatally shooting his friend on Saturday after the two got into an argument over a pool pump, Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez said Monday at a news conference.
Joseph Beck, 29, was inside his parked car in the driveway of a home in St. Cloud, in central Florida, when a man whom authorities identified as 28-year-old Joshua Miller walked up and repeatedly yelled, “Where’s my pool pump?” Lopez said, citing video of the interaction that was captured by a surveillance camera.
Miller’s mother gave deputies the surveillance footage and identified her son as the suspect, according to an arrest warrant obtained by HuffPost.
The gunman is seen in the video kicking the driver’s side door before opening it and striking Beck in the head multiple times with the butt of his gun, Lopez said. The gunman then fired one shot into Beck’s torso.
According to the arrest warrant, surveillance footage from another camera showed the gunman running into a shed behind the home, wiping “an object” with a towel, then running into a wooded area, empty-handed. The sheriff’s office has not released the footage to the media.
