Mack and Higgs fatally shot a Poinciana man on Monday, November 23, 2020, at the 7-Eleven store located at 398 Marigold Avenue in Kissimmee/Poinciana. The victim met the suspects at the store to sell them a bag of marijuana. During the transaction, the suspects robbed the victim, which resulted in the exchange of gunfire between them. The victim was fatally shot, and the suspects fled the scene heading westbound on Walnut Street.
A video from the store that shows the robbery and shooting can be seen here.
Mack is 6’1” tall, 170 lbs., and Higgs is 5’8” tall, 145 lbs. Photos of both suspects can be seen here. They may be driving Mack’s 2016 blue Chevrolet Malibu with FL tag PVZB39, which is also seen here.
Higgs’ criminal history includes 7 felonies and 6 misdemeanors, in Homestead, Osceola, and Polk, including carrying a concealed weapon, vehicle theft, trespassing, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, and possession of paraphernalia.
These suspects are to be considered ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
