Woman won't face charges in fatal parking dispute shooting at North Lauderdale Walmart

A woman who fatally shot a man during a dispute over a parking space at a North Lauderdale Walmart back in June won't face charges, Broward prosecutors said Thursday. Melissa Payne shot and killed Bart DiGuglielmo during the June 30 encounter outside the store at 7900 W. McNab Road, authorities said. According to a Broward State Attorney's Office memo released Thursday, Payne and DiGuglielmo got into a dispute over a parking space that ended with her shooting him in the abdomen. DiGuglielmo, 62, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Payne was detained by authorities and released after saying she'd acted in self-defense. Under Florida's so-called "Stand Your Ground" law, Payne had the right to stand her ground if she was in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm, and prosecutors can't prove that her fear of harm wasn't reasonable, the memo said. NBC6 attempted to talk with Payne on Thursday, but a man at her home said they are not talking. DiGuglielmo's daughter was not available to speak. #SHOOTING #WALMART NBC 6 on Instagram: @NBC6 | www.instagram.com/nbc6 NBC 6 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/nbc6southflorida NBC 6 on TikTok: @NBCsouthflorida | www.tiktok.com/@nbcsouthflorida Get breaking news, First Alert weather updates, plus live cameras from NBC 6 South Florida.
