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.

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.
