The Florida news reporter who was shot and killed while covering a shooting in Orlando has been identified as Dylan Lyons of Spectrum News 13, according to a fundraiser set up by his sister.

Lyons was at the scene where a woman was found dead earlier in the day, when the suspect of that shooting returned to the scene and shot four others, killing two, including Lyons, sheriff's deputies said.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said that Keith Melvin Moses, 19, is believed to be responsible and has been detained, according to FOX 35. He is accused of being responsible for both shootings, which ultimately left three people dead.

"I am trying to raise money for my litter brother's funeral," Dylan’s sister Rachel Lyons said in the GoFundMe campaign. "He was a reporter for Spectrum news and was ambushed and murdered while covering a story in Orlando, Florida."
