DELTONA, Fla. – Authorities in Volusia County are searching for a man they say threatened another driver in Deltona Saturday during an incident of road rage.

Deputies with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office were called to Huntington Street and Hallcrest Drive, where they met with the victim. The victim told deputies he was cut off after a black Honda, possibly a CRV, ran a stop sign and then the driver stopped in the road and followed the victim's car "riding his bumper," according to the report.

When the victim came to a stop near Fort Smith Boulevard and April Avenue, the other driver drove around his vehicle and blocked the victim. As the victim turned left on Huntington Street the other driver started swerving left and right in front of the victim's vehicle, deputies said.

The victim told deputies that he turned his high beams on to get a better view of the other driver's license plate when the driver got out and walked up to the victim's car with a firearm. The victim told deputies he drove off and was unable to get a license plate number, according to the report.

"He stopped and pulled a gun on me. Put a gun to my car window." the victim said in a 911 call.

The victim described the other driver as a Hispanic man between 25 and 35 years old.

The incident happened within five hours of another road-rage incident in neighboring Seminole County in which the victim described a similar vehicle and driver.



Officers said during that road-rage incident on Ronald Reagan Boulevard someone inside the black Honda fired several shots at a dark blue Toyota Tacoma. A man inside the Tacoma was taken to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds, but is expected to survive.

"One of the suspects in the vehicle shot an unknown amount of shots to the other vehicle," Altamonte Springs Police Department spokeswoman Evelyn Estevez said.

Altamonte Police told News 6 they are aware of the incident in Deltona and are investigating to see if the two are connected.



"The information that was given to us as far as a suspect vehicle, is that it's a black Honda, unknown model," Estevez said. "It's a passenger vehicle. It is occupied by a Hispanic male and a Hispanic female passenger."
