BRADENTON, Fla. (WFLA)— Three people are facing charges after a road rage incident about a turn signal ended in a shooting and crash, the Bradenton Police Department announced.

On Monday, around 3:20 p.m., Raesean Poole, 33, was waiting in a Jeep Compass to turn left out of the parking lot at 101 Riverfront Boulevard when Anthony Williams, 20, was driving a Buick sedan east on Riverfront Boulevard and turned left into the parking lot.

Williams parked his vehicle when Poole backed up his car to confront him about not using a turn signal. Williams and a teenage passenger then exited the Buick.

According to BPD, Poole told officers that Williams showed him a gun during a confrontation.

CCTV footage showed Poole begin to drive away several times but repeatedly stop and continue arguing with Williams, police said.

Poole then turned onto Riverfront Boulevard, reversed, and accelerated toward Williams, hitting a stop sign, a tree, and then hitting Williams in the leg.

According to police, in response to the crash, the teenager retrieved the gun and fired into Poole’s Jeep.

The three are charged with:

  • Poole is being charged with aggravated battery with a motor vehicle.
  • Charges against Williams are pending.
  • The teen is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm.

Williams was not seriously injured, BPD said.
