POLK COUNTY, Fla. – The 58-year-old Altamonte Springs man who was shot in a road rage incident in Davenport died on Tuesday, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. Sunday on the I-4 off-ramp to Highway 27.
According to the sheriff’s office, Kevin Berry was heading to work in Polk County when he was shot.
A witness told deputies a dark-colored two-door car and Berry’s white Dodge truck were driving around each other aggressively. Deputies said the witness reported that the two vehicles were moving back and forth between lanes on the off-ramp and then stopped.
