Video: Road Rage Incident
A Land O’ Lakes man was killed after a near-accident on Interstate 4 resulted in a physical confrontation followed by gunfire, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.
The 9:20 p.m. incident happened after Eric Houk, 36, of 4048 Marchmont Blvd., Land O’ Lakes, and his brother left Daytona International Speedway, where Kevin Harvick edged Mark Martin in one of the closest finishes in Daytona 500 history.
Houk was shot to death after he inadvertently cut off a Ford Explorer while avoiding a wreck, the Volusia sheriff’s office said. Houk’s brother was not named in the sheriff’s report.
Three Jacksonville men fled the scene but were later arrested.
David Edwards, 21, was charged with second-degree murder. Charles Onasanya, 18, and Ronlee Harvin, 21, were charged with principle to second-degree murder.
The men were being held without bail Monday at John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Seminole County, where they were arrested.
According to the Volusia sheriff’s office:
Houk and his brother were traveling west on I-4 when Houk swerved to avoid vehicles that had stopped ahead.
In avoiding a wreck, Houk inadvertently cut off a Ford Explorer that was traveling in the emergency lane.
Words were exchanged after both vehicles stopped.
Then, it got physical.
Eric Houk fought with Onasanya until Onasanya went back to the Explorer and got a gun. He pointed the gun at Houk, but dropped it.
Harvin picked up the gun and passed it to Edwards, who fired a shot in the air.
As Houk walked toward him, Edwards fired twice, hitting Houk at least once in the stomach. Houk was pronounced dead at Florida Hospital DeLand.
Edwards, Onasanya and Harvin then fled.
A man who answered the telephone at Houk’s residence Monday said the family declined to speak with a reporter.
