Your Florida Daily: Fireworks may have killed man in Tallahassee, teen lands in Puerto Rico after flight mix-up

ORLANDO, Fla. – There’s been a twist in an ongoing death investigation in Tallahassee.

Police now say a man believed to have died from a gunshot wound may have actually been killed by fireworks.

The victim was found in the middle of a road early Monday morning and died at the scene, according to Tallahassee police.

Investigators originally thought the man had been shot but later said it was determined the man’s death may have been an accident caused by fireworks.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine an exact cause, officials say.

DeLand leaders consider lifting medical marijuana dispensary ban

Leaders in DeLand could move one step closer to allowing medical marijuana dispensaries in city limits.

The city banned them from being built after voters legalized medical marijuana statewide in 2016. If commissioners approve the measure, it will still need to pass a second vote.

Wednesday’s meeting starts at 6:00 p.m.

Florida teen mistakenly lands in Puerto Rico after flight mix-up

A Florida father is demanding answers after his teenage son — who thought he was flying to Ohio — ended up in Puerto Rico instead.

Logan Lose, 16, had a ticket for a Frontier Airlines flight from Tampa to Cleveland.

It was his first time flying alone but after he says a worker didn’t scan his boarding pass, the teen ended up on the wrong plane and landed in San Juan instead.

“If he would’ve landed in another state, I could’ve just got in a car and drove, had him on the phone, and say, ‘Hey Logan, just don’t do anything, just stay there, I’ll be there in X amount of hours.’ I can’t do that when he’s in Puerto Rico,” said his father Ryan Lose.

The teen was taken back on another flight.

As for how this could have happened, the only thing Frontier will say is that both flights were departing from the same gate.

This is the second time in just a matter of days that something like this has happened.

Last week, a 6-year-old boy who was supposed to fly from Philadelphia to Fort Myers instead ended up in Orlando.

In that case, Spirit Airlines says the gate agent in Philly put the boy on the wrong plane.

Random Florida Fact

Just off the coast of Palm Beach is a former nuclear bunker known as the Detachment Hotel.

Located on Peanut Island, the 1,500-square-foot bunker was created specifically to house President John F. Kennedy and his staff in the event of a nuclear attack while he was on vacation in southeast Florida.

The Navy built it in just ten days - buried under 25 feet of soil, lead and concrete.

Thankfully, the Cuban Missile Crisis ended and the bombs never came, but after JFK’s death, the bunker fell into disrepair.

The site was later restored and from 1999 to 2017, the public could tour the shelter.
