A man identified as the victim told St. Lucie County sheriff’s officials he was traveling south on South 25th Street and got behind a vehicle traveling 15 to 20 mph.

He tried to get around the vehicle, but the vehicle got in both lanes and blocked him. The victim said the man identified as Aguilar exited his vehicle, put a gun in his waistband and grabbed the victim by the throat.

The victim said he got away, but that Aguilar pulled up next to him and pointed a gun at him in the area of Bell Avenue.
