Salaythis Melvin was a 22-year-old shot and killed by a deputy outside of the Florida Mall on August 7th. A deputy reportedly pursued Melvin and shot him in the back, killing him. The arrest affidavit claims that Melvin had a stolen gun.

However, his family claims that Melvin is not the person they were looking for and that he was not a threat.

"We need justice for Salay. We need him in jail because you wrongfully killed him," said Melvin's cousin, Sixx Jones. "You had no reason to kill him because he's not who you're looking for."
