we are working to learn the identity of
a man run over and killed by a bulldozer
this happened at the Sarno landfill in
Melbourne the Melbourne Fire Department
says the victim was an any time waste
systems employee and we are working to
learn more about how exactly this
happened we'll update you as soon as we
learn more we are learning new details
tonight about a traffic stop that led to
an Army veteran killing himself we first
reported this last week news 6 is 19
Yanis joins us now with newly released
video showing police confronting the man
and saving two kids who were in the car
19 yeah Matt we're talking about tense
moments detectives knew that 48 year-old
Luis Valentine was an Army veteran but
say they didn't know he had a gun and
said in the many times that they spoke
with him before the days before into
their investigation of child pornography
that he was cooperative friendly even
never giving any indication that a
traffic stop would end in a scene like
this by the time this officer pulls in
for backup in this video child porn
suspect Luis Valentine is inside an SUV
parked with a gun to his head
detectives on both sides when they see
the suspects two kids are also inside I
see the gun and then I see the children
detectives John Paul on separa and
Justin Lansford taking us through the
video and through the small window of
opportunity to get the suspects two kids
out of the car as he's pulling the gun
away from his head I can see that the
slide is locked back which means it's
not functioning at that point I knew
this is the chance that we had to get
these kids out of the car as Valentine
fix the malfunction detective answer
Peres says the gun was then pointed at
him I'm yelling at him through the
window he looks at me and he somewhat
points the gun up in my general
direction so
I go to I go to take a shot at that
point but he doesn't because the Cajun
detective once went away body camera
footage shows the two kids just seven
and 11 years old then run to safety
minutes before they say Valentine shot
and killed himself in the chest I'm sad
for his children that they had to be put
in that situation by him a moment both
these detectives and dads had to
decompress when they got home that night
I went home and just been telling my
children read my little girl a book and
put her to bed and that was about it
now both detectives were working that
child pornography case but that has now
been turned over to others in the
Kissimmee Police Department and the
investigation into more victims
continues Lisa 19 thank you new at 6:00

totally put down her face told her get
down around girl she knocked the gun of
the guy's hand and then the guys they

tonight we are learning why a Sanford
man was arrested over the weekend four
months after he shot and killed a
teenager as that teen was robbing him of
his cell phone Orlando Police tell us
they closed their case but it was the
state attorney Aramis I allas office
that has decided to prosecute the man
for manslaughter news six is Eric Mon
tanken is at the State Attorney's Office
tonight in downtown Orlando getting
answers and talking to the man's wife as
the State Attorney's Office today twice
why these manslaughter charges and why
now so far no response but Curtis
vultures wife tells me this was a clear
case to them that this was self-defense
she says police detectives told them
that over and over again throughout
their investigation he's in jail right
now I just talked to Lisa I found a kid
that I could mentor he's like I'm just
talking to him and telling them he don't
have to live that life you don't have to
be a part of he's doing that right in
hell as we speak in jail that's the kind
of man banessa Fulcher says the irony
about her husband Curtis is arrest over
the weekend for shooting and killing a
16 year old as the teen was trying to
rob them is that Curtis vulture would
have helped the troubled teen turn his
life around and even tried to as they
sat parked on this Paramore street back
in January
showing the iPhone that they were trying
to sell he even told the guy you know if
you can't afford the phone you know
financing Orlando police say the 16 year
old denim Williams and his accomplice 18
year-old DeAndre Florence had been
planning for days to steal the phone and
had been robbing people for weeks on
January 2nd Williams grabbed the phone
and was shot by Fulcher so he's going
under his shirt for his waistband as he
snatching the phone and you're thinking
we're about to get shot
was your husband standing his ground
with all my heart I know he was even
though he got out of the car and shot at
this young man as he was running away
yes why because we didn't know we didn't
know the intent while Fulcher stays in
jail tonight in Seminole County I talked
to her legal analyst about this Stephen
Kramer he says that he thinks this case
will ultimately come down to the
forensics police said that the teenager
was shot through the back and out the
chest framer questions does that mean he
was running away or does that mean he
was fighting and struggling pronounced
the State Attorney's Office Eric van
Eyck and getting results new six now the
other teen involved in this 18 year old
DeAndre Florence who survived was
arrested and charged with felony murder
