A Miami judge has dismissed charges against a young Black man accused of shooting at an unarmed patron who threatened him after wrongfully thinking he jumped the line at a local McDonald’s.
Devin Gibbs (left) claims Phillip Ledea began making threats at him after thinking he skipped the line. Gibbs was cleared this month under Florida’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” law after making his case to the judge that he acted in self-defense when he shot Phillip Ledea at the popular fast food restaurant in December 2015, the Miami Herald reported. Ledea reportedly began hurling racial slurs and threats at Gibbs after thinking he cut in line to place his order.
Gibbs, a part-time dockworker who stopped at the restaurant to buy a meal for his son the day after Christmas, was charged with aggravated battery with a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. Ledea wasn’t hurt in the shooting.
