Elderly Man Kills Neighbor, Officials Say
A 76-year- old Polk County man shot and killed a 19-year-old neighbor Sunday night and has told investigators the man broke in to his mobile home and wrestled away his wallet, authorities said.
John Michael Lusk, of 322 Donald Lane, was found dead in the home of Norman Bright, 324 Donald Lane, west of Winter Haven, said Michal Shanley, sheriff's office spokeswoman.
No charges had been filed Monday. Shanley said that once detectives have completed their investigation, the case will be turned over to the state attorney for a determination on whether the shooting was justified.
Bright told deputies that Lusk had come to his home earlier in the evening and they argued after Bright accused Lusk of stealing from him.
