Florida prosecutors decline to charge woman in fatal Walmart parking lot dispute

Broward County prosecutors have decided not to charge Melissa Payne for the June 30, 2026, fatal shooting of Army veteran Bart Diguglielmo in a North Lauderdale Walmart parking lot. The decision rests on Florida’s 'stand your ground' law, with prosecutors stating that Payne acted in self-defense and the state cannot prove her fear of harm was unreasonable. While the victim’s family disputes the justification, citing threats of property damage rather than physical harm, the state attorney’s office released video evidence supporting Payne’s claim of reasonable fear.
