HOLLYWOOD — A Coast Guardsman who was being robbed in a movie theater
parking lot pulled out his own gun and shot his two assailants, killing one
and critically injuring the other, a police spokesman said on Saturday.

Police, however, will not charge Jorge Anez in the shooting. Under the state
felony murder rule, Xavier Winston, 18.who is in stable condition at
Memorial Regional Hospital, will face first-degree murder charges in the
death of his partner, Toddrick Allen, 16, said spokesman Carlos Negron.

“He’s the one that caused the death of the other person, because he’s the
one that initiated [the robbery],” Negron said.

Detectives said Anez, 23, was walking across the south parking lot toward
the Regal Oakwood 18 Theater, 2800 Oakwood Blvd., around 11:40 p.m. Friday
when Winston stepped out of a blue Chevy Caprice. He pointed a gun at Anez
and ordered the Hollywood man to go to his car and turn over his belongings,
Negron said.

As Anez reached inside his car, Winston pistol-whipped him. Anez blocked
part of the blow and pulled his own gun from the car.

“He thinks he’s going to be killed, so that’s when he starts to fire,”
Negron said.
