The confrontation unfolded after a motorist, angered during a drive, decided to follow another driver to his workplace—a heating and air conditioning company located on Philips Highway. The tense situation escalated into gunfire.

Authorities were alerted to the scene around 7:30 a.m., where they discovered the victim, a man in his early 60s, suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest. Emergency responders quickly transported him to a nearby hospital, where he remains in critical condition, though his prognosis is positive, says JSO Sergeant Richardson.

The investigation revealed that the older man, in a fit of road rage, pursued the suspect, a man in his mid-30s, to his job at Del-Air Heating & Air Conditioning. The confrontation turned heated, and upon the victim exiting his vehicle, the suspect retrieved a handgun and fired a shot, hitting the man in the chest.

Swift police action led to the arrest of the suspect later that same day, ensuring that justice would follow this unfortunate encounter.

Anyone with additional information on the incident is asked to contact JSO directly at 904-630–0500 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
