   A Phoenix father is facing second degree murder charges for   
   allegedly killing a man who allegedly harassed his young   
   daughter.   
      
   Police say Melvin Harris, 40, admitted to beating Leon   
   Armstrong, 26, to death after he attempted to break into the   
   teenage girl's stall at a QuikTrip convenience store bathroom.   
      
   Harris was waiting for his daughter and her two friends in the   
   store’s parking lot when Armstrong approached his car asking for   
   money. Harris gave him change, then Armstrong walked into the   
   convenience store, police said   
      
   Soon after, Harris' daughter and her friends came out of the   
   store and said the man had harassed them, according to a police   
   report.   
      
   Harris then went to the store and demanded that a security guard   
   take action — or else he’d take matters into his own hands,   
   police said.   
      
   Upon leaving the store, witnesses reported seeing Harris   
   approach Armstrong, whom he then punched in the face, police   
   said. Armstrong fell to the ground and Harris proceeded to   
   stomp, kick and punch him until he was unconscious before   
   driving off, police said.   
      
   After the assault, Armstrong was taken to a hospital with   
   injuries including brain swelling and a a broken nose officials   
   said.   
      
   Harris initially faced aggravated assault charges, but they were   
   upped to second degree murder after Armstrong died.   
      
   “It is a horrible tragedy and QT will continue to assist law   
   enforcement with their investigation," said Mike Thornbrugh,   
   spokesman for QuikTrip.   
      
   Harris is expected back in court later this week.
