ORLANDO, Fla. (WCJB) – A lawsuit filed against the owners of an Orlando news station by the estate of former TV20 reporter Dylan Lyons is being dismissed.<\/p>\n
Lyons was shot and killed while reporting for Spectrum News 13 in February 2023. He was reporting on a murder case in Pine Hills, west of Orlando, when the shooter, Keith Moses, returned to the scene, killed Lyons, and injured photographer Jesse Walden.<\/p>\n
Lyon\u2019s family filed suit against Spectrum\u2019s parent company, Charter Communications, claiming they were negligent in sending Lyons to report on the murder.<\/p>\n
Federal court records show that Judge Anne Conway dismissed the suit, saying Lyons\u2019 family\u2019s lawyers weren\u2019t able to prove that the newsroom misrepresented the danger in sending Lyons to a crime scene.<\/p>\n
Lyons\u2019 family is still suing the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office. They allege that an Orange County deputy on-scene told Lyons that there was no threat in visiting the crime scene, even they had not caught Moses.<\/p>\n
