    W.T., a juvenile,
    Appellant,
    vs.
    The State of Florida,
    Appellee.
    An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Angelica D.
    Zayas, Judge.
    Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Natasha Baker-Bradley, Assistant
    Public Defender, for appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kayla H. McNab, Assistant
    Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before ROTHENBERG, C.J., and SALTER and LOGUE, JJ.
    PER CURIAM.
    The officer had reasonable suspicion to stop Appellant and the other two
    juveniles given the be-on-the-look-out transmission, the juveniles’ geographic and
    temporal proximity to the armed robbery, the match between the suspects’ reported
    descriptions and the juveniles’ appearances, and the juveniles’ behavior when
    approached; and, once the firearm was discovered, the officer had probable cause
    to arrest. Therefore, the officer was engaged in the execution of a legal duty when
    Appellant knocked him to the ground in an apparent attempt to escape. W.T.’s
    convictions are affirmed. See §§ 776.051, 784.07, 843.01, Fla. Stat.; Sosnowski v.
    State, 
    245 So. 3d 885
     (Fla. 1st DCA 2018); State v. Roy, 
    944 So. 2d 403
     (Fla. 3d
    DCA 2006).
    Affirmed.
