Fla. Suspect Said He Was Neighborhood Watch

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

SOUTH MIAMI, Fla. (AP) — The South Florida man who authorities say killed his wife then apparently posted a photo of his 26-year-old wife’s dead body on Facebook possessed a concealed weapon permit and portrayed himself as a neighborhood watch volunteer at his townhouse complex, fellow residents said Friday.

Derek Medina, 31, turned himself in to police on Thursday after Jennifer Alfonso was fatally shot inside the couple’s home in South Miami, a suburb of Miami. When officers responded to the home, they found Alfonso’s body, as well as her 10-year-old daughter, who was unharmed. Medina was charged with first-degree murder and will appear in court for the first time Friday.

His final Facebook post was as chilling as the photograph that followed it.

“Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys, miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news,” said the Thursday morning post on Medina’s Facebook page.

He then apparently posted a photo of his 26-year-old wife’s body slumped on the floor.

Problem was his wife didn't have a gun? Maybe the daughter did have a concealed weapon and that is why she is alive today. Gotta love Florida!

I'm sure that being part of a neighborhood watch was the compelling reason behind the crime. It's Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman all over again.

His wife should have been armed...epic fail on her part.

It's a sad situation all around.

Some people shouldn't have guns. Or knives. Or bats. Or maybe even fists.

The reason, IMHO, why we have good times and take memories of them, is to have a fallback in case of bad times.

I wished Mr. Bad Dude, allegedly for Gawds sakes, had paused for a sec, laughed off whatever the stress was with them and said "Honey, come here you, let's do that thing that we do".

It's just so sad.......to see eyebrows so thick on someone so young, what will he look like at 50?
