How The Kandy Kid Got His Name

Although originally owning to the colorful nickname "The Caloosahatchee Kid," after this unfortunate incident the other outlaws snickered behind his back and called him "Kandy":

Fort Myers police today said a 13-year-old Fort Myers boy shot his 14-year-old friend in the face Sunday over a dispute about change from a candy bar purchase.

According to police reports:

The 14-year-old boy gave the suspect $10 to buy a candy bar. When the suspect gave the boy $9 back, he told him he wanted the rest of the change back, which was approximately 25 cents.

A 21-year-old woman who was driving the pair, took the supspect to his house. The suspect went inside and came back out with a pistol and shot the victim in the cheek.

Kandy later went on to be killed by a vengeful dog he'd shot in the paw.
