A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Johnny Lewis Stevenson Jr., who was trying to break up a fight between two girls in Florida City, police said. Miami-Dade police said the shooter, Kentarian Lamont Cross, 22, turned himself in Wednesday night and was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon. Earlier this morning, he faced a judge and was denied bond. The incident occurred Tuesday evening near Northwest 14th Street and First Court after a street fight between Homestead High School students began on a school bus and spilled into the street. “She spit on me, we started fighting,” said Sy’riah Stevenson, the daughter of the victim. According to police, Stevenson, 47, was attempting to intervene, struggling with Cross until the shooter allegedly opened fire. “The boy pushes him, my dad pushes him back, holds him like ‘move’, so the boy pulls out the gun out and shoots him,” said Sy’riah. “He was on the floor, I’m trying to hold his stomach… and I’m telling him ‘daddy are you going to be okay’?” Stevenson was airlifted to Jackson South Trauma Center, where he died during surgery. “He had 14 kids. He takes care of all of his kids, he loved them,” said Sy’riah. “This can’t be true, this can’t be true.” Cross was arrested on Wednesday evening and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. 7news spoke with the victims family, who said they are simply glad that an arrest has been made.
