Florida Man Kills Partner, Four Children Before Turning Gun on Himself in Horrific Massacre

Florida Man Kills Partner, Four Children Before Turning Gun on Himself in Horrific Massacre

Kelvin Solomon is dealing with a double dosage of unthinkable pain.

Solomon’s two children, 11-year-old Xion and 8-year-old Phiinyx, were among the six individuals shot Wednesday night in a family tragedy.

“It’s hard to really put it into words,” the man replied. “I just lost my son, my daughter is fighting for her life right now.”

Phiinyx, his daughter, is the sole victim who survived.

“She’s doing a lot better,” Solomon reported. “It’s still touch and go right now, but we’re just staying at her side right now and hoping for the best.”

Julie Cruz, the mother of the children, was slain by her partner, 34-year-old Stephen McKenzie, who allegedly opened fire on them inside their Pembroke Park flat.

Detectives suspect McKenzie then shot and killed his own two sons, Nova and Emery, both of whom were just two years old.

Then, according to authorities, he shot their other siblings, seriously injuring Phiinyx and killing Xion, both from Solomon and Cruz’s prior relationship, before turning the gun on himself.

“My son was very brave in trying to protect and shield his mother and his siblings from this cowardly attack,” according to Solomon. “She was definitely on her way out of the situation, so that could possibly be the deciding factor into what just happened.”

A tragic case of domestic abuse has taken the lives of four young sparkling stars. Solomon claimed Xion excelled at sports.

“Football player, good kid, very big heart and actually he just won the championship in the sports league right here,” Solomon informed me.
