Florida Man Threatens To Shoot 9-Year-Old Black Girl Selling Candy

A mother in Florida has moved to take legal action against her neighbor after a violent social media post threatening to cause harm to her child. According to the Atlanta Black Star, Tyler Chambers, a resident of the Tampa, FL. suburb of Riverview, caught the 8-year-old daughter of Beyond Shabazz on his doorbell camera.

The child, Sincere, and her 11-year-old cousin were going door-to-door selling candy for a fundraiser. After Chambers took a screenshot of the security footage, he shared it on social media, with a profane message alerting others that if he was at home during the seemingly innocent visit, he would have responded violently to the children.

“You’re lucky we weren’t home to shoot your a** dumb bi**h,” he wrote in a now-deleted post. Although he removed the post due to backlash, screengrabs of the upload were captured and shared with many, suggesting he should lose his job, among other consequences. Shabazz came to learn of the threat to her daughter’s safety after posts condemning Chambers went viral.

“This incident occurred on Monday, April 14th, at approximately 4 PM in the afternoon. I am just now seeing this all over my social media, and I immediately called the police to file a report,” wrote Shabazz on a GoFundMe Campaign.

The fundraiser was launched to financially support legal action she plans to take against Shabazz. As of Friday morning (April 25), the campaign stood at just $3 short of its goal, with $15,597 collected.

“I was told by officers that he and his family have left their home due to threats from all over because of the post he made about my daughter. He has been exposed all over the internet; they have found his address, job, and his past record,” she explained.

She continued to claim that Chambers not only made the absurd post but also created false motives.

“He is now asking police to simply have a conversation with me, and I won’t let it happen because he and his wife thought it would be a good idea to lie publicly! Tyler Chambers and his wife, Cassidy Chambers, stated on social media they were going to hurt my little girl because she knocked on the door. His exact words were, “YOU’RE LUCKY WE WEREN’T HOME TO SHOOT YOUR A**, DUMB BI**H” to a 9-year-old!! Then he goes on to say he apologizes after his post went viral but then lies and says that she and her brothers, which she doesn’t have, tried to break into his house.”

Shabazz continued to allege, “Not only did they lie about her trying to break into their house, but they also claimed they were not home in the original post. Then later, the wife said she was home with their 7-month-old at the time and she was scared.”

According to the outlet, Chambers initially explained, “I saw that on my camera and have a wife and 7-month-old at home, which I will protect as you would. I was hot when I posted it which is why I deleted it right away I could have handled it a lot different,” before deactivating his social media accounts.

Amid being doxxed, social media outrage led users to Chamber’s LinkedIn page, which led to his alleged employer, Mister Car Wash, being blasted with complaints.

“This individual is not employed by Mister Car Wash – any reports suggesting otherwise are not accurate. Their actions are reprehensible and in direct conflict with our values. We have zero tolerance for hate speech in any form. Thank you for your message and concern,” detailed an X account attributed to the company in response to the backlash. The message was also previously shared from a Mister Car Wash Facebook account. A screenshot was uploaded to Shabazz’s GoFundMe campaign, as pictured above.

“I have reached out to the authorities, and this is an open investigation. I will do everything in my power to put this sick bastard in jail,” declared Shabazz. “My child does not feel safe in her neighborhood now due to this, and now every time she clicks on her Facebook or TikTok, she sees what this monster posted about her for the world to see. ”

She continued, “I will not let this go under the rug. I promise I will make an example out of this fool.”
