Melvin Harris, a father from Phoenix, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after an incident where he defended his daughter. The confrontation began when his daughter reported a man trying to enter her locked stall in a women’s bathroom.

After security escorted the man out, Harris identified him and informed the guard he would handle the situation himself. Witnesses stated Harris punched Leon Armstrong, knocking him to the ground, and continued the assault before leaving. Armstrong later died from a severe brain injury. This story, initially reported after the incident, has resurfaced due to its emotional and controversial nature.
