Bart Diguglielmo Shot Dead in North Lauderdale Walmart Parking Lot Dispute – Self-Defense Claimed
A woman shot and killed 62-year-old Army veteran Bart Diguglielmo in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter at 7900 West McNab Road just before 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) confirms the fatal shooting stemmed from a verbal argument over a parking space. Multiple videos — including witness cellphone footage and a Tesla dashcam — show the confrontation unfolding in broad daylight.
According to detailed accounts of the footage, the woman exits her vehicle holding a phone in one hand and a gun in the other. She briefly interacts with people in a nearby white car. Diguglielmo approaches, and the argument heats up.
She points the gun at him and repeatedly tells him to “walk away.” As he advances, she backs up and walks around another parked car to create distance. Diguglielmo follows her around the vehicle anyway.
She fires one shot and Diguglielmo collapses.
The woman remained at the scene, cooperated with deputies, and claimed she acted in self-defense.
She was detained for questioning but has not been publicly identified or charged as of Thursday. BSO is reviewing all evidence before presenting the case to the Broward State Attorney’s Office.
Victim: Army Veteran and Father Remembered
Bart Diguglielmo, a Lauderhill resident and retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant originally from New Jersey, died at Broward Health Medical Center after being transported with a gunshot wound.
Family members are heartbroken. His daughter Amanda told media her father was a “good man” and pushed back against rumors suggesting anything beyond the parking dispute.
“Nobody deserves to lose their life over a parking spot,” she said emotionally.
She described him as a good Christian father who was not the aggressor some online narratives claimed.
BSO says the woman is cooperating fully.

Who goes around challenging an armed person, who keeps moving back to get away from you not once !!!!!
Let’s be real, this is self defense
yall please forgive the comments of his daughter, she was speaking from a place of grief. its her dad, what you want her to say? “a good man” is alright to say, and he probably was. but today…he was a good bully and he paid with his life. he walked away and came back….with what? for what? I hope your Auntie, Mom, sister, niece, grandma, or cousin would do the same if they were in this position. as a female, dont wait for a larger than you man to walk up and do whatever he was gonna do with a gun in your hand. shoot the gravy out his grits! should’ve shot him the first time when he was chasing your around the cars, so he had 2 or 3 chances to leave you alone and still chose violence. okay. so be it. lastly, the next person who says “over a parking spot”, take your medication, put your helmet on and take your nap.
He made the choice to be a bully. Don’t Floridians have a right to “Stand Your Ground?”
I didn’t know that He was following Her around a car or two,any Woman with a pistol would have shot a Big Grown Man in that situation…Shit I would have shot him too…
She went to get the gun she should of go
I guess “white privilege ” didn’t work.
If the roles would have been reversed, and he had shot a black woman with the same exact circumstances… there would be outrage and probably riots… and I can almost guarantee that he would at least be chaged with Murder.
Self defense is if you’re at risk of death or great bodily harm… and I didn’t see any of this in this short clip (and I even wonder if the person recording actually knew this woman or not)!
Stfu he would have claimed self defense said she was cmg at him and would have got off and end of story so please dnt try to make it seem like he would have been charged as if she is gna be charged she didn’t leave the scene so she couldn’t tell her side when someone says walk away and has a gun in they hand im not gna keep walkn at them or following them that is stupid ima walk away and get in my car and go home and still be alive period think you big and bad some ppl dnt play about they safety
Thank u, I’m with u on this one, how the Heck does he think had this been the other way around he’d be in Jail….Ummmmm Sir have U NOT been watching the news, almost on a DAILY some1 WHITE is Killing a BLACK person & Definitely NOT being CHARGED, I really cant believe he typed this. Ppl like him I’d LOVE to be in person with, while having this very same conversation! And then to say she probably knew the camera person 🙄 annnnd if she DID? STUPID it showed he was being the AGGRESSOR/BULLY, sooooo in 2days episode of “F*@K Around & Find OUT” 🤷🏾♀️
I call BULLSHIT. Bart was the aggressor. He continued to walk towards her after she warned him to walk away. She even walked around a parked car to evade him. Finally, she stood her ground.
You got that right. Ben Crump would be on the scene to litigate the travesty before the dust cleared.
She got the gun before she got out of the car, she intended to kill him, premeditated from the get go!
Duh, I get out of my car everyday with my gun even when im not in a bad situation. Its called the right to carry for all Americans who qualify.
Do you have it in your hand ready to shoot every time you get out?
Do you get out of your car with gun in hand .
No what was his reason for pulling off parking and then walkn up on her a complete stranger yall will make up anything to try and justify right from wrong
That is nothing more than a fabrication. When someone says “don’t come near me”. That means don’t come near me. They are warning you for your own protection. That is not premeditation.
I’m sorry that he lost his life but he clearly was the aggressor! She even walked around cars to get away with warnings but yet he continues to pursue her. He took his life not her.
I agree I just said the same thing to someone else’s comment
I hope they put her in prison! Self defense my butt! She decided to be judge, jury and executioner. She’s a deeply disturbed, dangerous individual.
Just because you have a right to carry, doesn’t mean you have a right to murder.
She’s going home. Self defense. He didnt deserve to die but her life was in danger so he died and she’s going home. Sorry not sorry
Had he killed that woman what would be your comment then ,Oh I know he was in the right to kill her fickle minded idiot is what you are
But he had a right to follow her and approach her she dnt know him or what he was gna do or if he had anything on him she told him to walk away several times and he refused so dnt blame her for protecting herself he should’ve walked away and got in his car and drove off he chose to park and walk up on her she didn’t walk up on him she was backing up to get away from him so stfu
Uhm kinda does. People not carrying water guns .. after he followed her around the car .. that’s a threat of any bodily harm she wasn’t sure about .. he was an whole Army vet at that . It sucks he had to die but decision making is crucial.
Well said.
Ummmm did u WATCH & LISTEN to the same video we all just seen? What if that had been U, ur Mom, or ur Daughter. Whit how the ppl in the world is now days, we really DONT have a mer second to ALLOW any1 an opportunity to get to us 1st, she said BACK UP, WALK AWAY, S*#T she even WALKED AWAY, but he kept coming….see us Black Women are BUILT DIFFERENT, we make it to the END of the Movie or HOME in real Life, WHITE Women Run, Screaming , FALL & DIE. U ma’am BETTER Learn something from this video, & PUT AWAY ur RACIST CARD, & Praise God this wasn’t U, because ur Life would’ve ended like his, or been severely hurt
Girl BYE!
Why didn’t he just leave her alone. Clearly seeing that she was armed and going to defend herself. Sorry for the family but he made a major mistake.
He gave his life away smh its sad but…..its just sad
Right
He didnt lose his life over a parkingspot. He gave it away.
I agree. For no reason at’all. His daughter says he’s a good man but in the video he is bullying the lady
Unarmed man?
What does being a Vet have to do with being a THREAT!
She was a black woman being bullied by a Vet. She tried to get away from him but he followed so thats the treat dumbasz. At that point her life was in danger so he had to die
Right. They never say the garbage man…..
Thank u, I’m with u on this one, how the Heck does he think had this been the other way around he’d be in Jail….Ummmmm Sir have U NOT been watching the news, almost on a DAILY some1 WHITE is Killing a BLACK person & Definitely NOT being CHARGED, I really cant believe he typed this.
