Tironie Sterling, 22, is accused of killing Thierry Bastien, 41, in front of his girlfriend and their baby during a fight in a Florida Walmart.
An off-duty Walmart worker from Florida has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting and killing a customer in front of his family as he bravely tried to protect a female store employee during a brawl, officials said.
The pair got into a verbal argument that escalated into a fight in the frozen food section of the store, with Sterling dropping a handgun onto the floor and allegedly trying to snatch the woman’s phone from her hands. Sterling is accused of shooting and killing Walmart customer Thierry Bastien, who intervened to protect a female store worker from the suspect.Seeing that the woman was being attacked and that no one was there to protect her, a male customer, identified by family members as 41-year-old Thierry Bastien, stepped in to help, and him and Sterling got into a tussle.
Bastien was shopping with his girlfriend and their children, including a baby, when he came to a woman’s aid and was shot in front of his family.“It’s not fair to the kids and it’s not fair to me,” she added.
