LAKELAND, Fla. â Officials with the FAA and NTSB are investigating a plane crash at a Lakeland industrial park that injured two adult occupants in the plane.
Emergency crews with Lakeland Police Department and Lakeland Fire Department responded to the scene of the crash, which occurred just before 2:30 p.m. Sunday at an industrial park near 4150 S. Pipkin Road, just off of airport property.
Officials say the crash involved a single-engine plane with two adult occupants. Both occupants were airlifted with serious injuries.
No one on the ground was injured.
Dunn’s legal team filed an appeal earlier this month with the Florida Second District Court of Appeal. The lawyers, James R. “Rusty” Franklin of Bartow and Mark O’Mara of Orlando, are asking the court to set aside Jacobsen’s ruling and dismiss the charge.
A three-judge panel will review the petition and rule on it. Franklin said that will likely take six to nine months.
The deadly encounter occurred on Oct. 3, 2018, when Dunn was working at Vets Army Navy Surplus in Lakeland, where he was a general manager. Dunn, now 50, fatally shot Lopez, a homeless man, after Lopez seized a hatchet that was for sale and began to leave the store without paying for it.

LAKELAND Shawanda Lamones, 39, and her mother, 70-year-old Maebelle Cooper Laster, had plans to make gingerbread houses with Lamones’ four children on Christmas Eve.
Instead, at 5:40 p.m., Laster lay fatally wounded in Lamones’ Amos Avenue front yard and Lamones, her husband Ralph Lamones, Jr., 43, and their 13-year-old daughter were all shot by a group of people Lamones said belong to a local gang.
“It’s just a situation that’s so unfortunate I don’t really know how to explain. I’m really lost for words because this could’ve been handled so different. We could’ve talked about it like grown-ups, Lamones said. Instead, it went to violence and my mom wound up dead. Everyone lose out – we lose because my mom is dead. Their family lose out because their person is going to prison.”
