The incident occurred on Nov. 20, 2025, in the 2800 block of Wakulla Way, a one-lane neighborhood street with no sidewalks that abuts a river.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-3\">The Florida Highway Patrol originally investigated the incident as a\u00a0hit-and-run\u00a0and filed a\u00a0vehicular manslaughter\u00a0charge against Emmans. But surveillance video indicated Emmans hit Mikhail on purpose, cops said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/am24.mediaite.com\/lc\/cnt\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Mikhail-Cuba.jpg\" alt=\"He didn't see them coming': Teen on scooter mowed down by bully who made his life at school so miserable he had to leave, police and grandmother say | Law &amp; Crime\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-4\">The Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office took over the case and charged Emmans with first-degree murder. He was taken into custody on Friday and placed into a juvenile detention facility.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mikhail\u2019s family, Emmans had been terrorizing him when he was at school.<\/p>\n<div class=\"o-callout__newsletter o-callout\">Sign up for the Law&amp;Crime Daily Newsletter for more breaking news and updates<\/div>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-5\">Mikhail\u2019s grandmother, Ectasy Mooty, told local Fox affiliate\u00a0WOFL\u00a0that Emmans was among a group of school bullies that made his life so miserable he had to leave and be homeschooled.<\/p>\n<p>Mooty called her grandson\u2019s alleged killer a \u201creally sick, sick individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-6\">\u201cThat\u2019s not even a person,\u201d she said in an interview with the TV station. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t even classify that as an animal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flawandcrime%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02erxnkMJJHRctxXriJNLSNDmxbPo4jqdxBsmxMYREtLDyxPXCePzjbeiwGq9zh5W2l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"500\" data-origheight=\"250\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-7\">Mikhail\u2019s death wasn\u2019t the only tragedy for the family.

He didn\u2019t see them coming,\u201d said Mooty, per WOFL. \u201cBut they\u2019re going to see me coming. They\u2019re going to see me every day in court, and I hope it haunts them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"qualified qualified-9\">Mikhail\u2019s\u00a0obituary\u00a0called him a \u201cyoung man of remarkable kindness, intelligence, and generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was quiet and serious, yet his playful and silly side shone through for those he loved,\u201d the obituary said. \u201cHe was always willing to go the extra mile for his family and friends. No matter the distance, you could always count on him being there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emmans remains in the juvenile detention facility. It\u2019s unclear when he is next slated to appear in court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 17-year-old Florida boy allegedly spotted one of his classmates from school who was riding a scooter along a narrow street and intentionally ran him over with&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-55807","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
