Jury convicts man of murder and robbery during FaceTime call
Leesburg, FL A jury has convicted a 26-year-old man for the armed robbery and murder of a store clerk who was shot while on a FaceTime call with his wife. Alex Lopez was found guilty of first-degree murder and armed robbery in the death of Raied “Ray” Shihadeh, 51, at M & M Food Mart.
Lopez received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The incident occurred on May 30, when Monique Shihadeh listened in horror as her husband was shot.
She testified that she heard her husband plead and then heard a gunshot. Moments later, Lopez stepped over the victim and shot him again before stealing less than $100 and a vape.
A customer entered the store shortly after, heard Monique screaming, and discovered her husband on the ground, prompting a 911 call. Law enforcement responded and found Shihadeh with multiple gunshot wounds and later pronounced him dead at the hospital.
Lopez, who was captured after several weeks on the run at a Kissimmee hotel, was identified thanks to tips that included information from a relative. Bill Gladson, the State Attorney, commented that Lopez valued a small sum of money over a human life, emphasizing the impact of the crime on Shihadeh’s family, who were left behind.

Woman arrested for allegedly assaulting deputy after 911 ride request
Gainesville, FL
Baylee Jordan Graham, 30, is in custody following an incident at a McDonald’s where she allegedly assaulted a sheriff’s deputy. The incident began shortly after midnight on Tuesday when a deputy responded to a call regarding Graham refusing to leave the restroom.
Upon arrival, the deputy attempted to communicate with Graham, who provided a false name. When Graham exited the bathroom, the deputy charged her phone to facilitate a call for a ride, which led Graham to call 911, claiming she was at a nearby Circle K.
The deputy informed Graham that calling 911 for a ride was a criminal offense. Despite an offer to drive her home, Graham repeatedly refused.
Graham allegedly continued to call 911, prompting dispatchers to notify the deputy of her actions. The deputy instructed her to stop making the calls, but Graham persisted, leading the deputy to approach her.
When the deputy took hold of Graham’s arm, she allegedly struck the deputy in the face, stating, “Do not touch me.” Additional deputies arrived as Graham resisted arrest and attempted to obstruct the vehicle door.
The arrest report indicates that Graham made a total of 14 calls to 911 during the encounter. While in the patrol car, she allegedly made a remark about not being prepared and mentioned harming the deputy in another situation.
Graham faces charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and misuse of 911. She is being held at the Alachua County Jail with a bond set at $35,000.
