A 29-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder for the fatal road-rage shooting of a Manheim woman while she and her husband were headed to the beach last week for vacation, authorities announced Thursday.
Dejywan R. Floyd was driving down Interstate 95 in Lumberton, North Carolina, around 11:40 a.m. March 25 when Ryan and Julie Eberly’s GMC Yukon came close to Floyd’s Chevrolet Malibu as they merged lanes, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said Floyd pulled alongside the Yukon’s passenger side and fired several shots through the window, then got off the highway at an upcoming exit.
Ryan Eberly pulled off the highway and waited for medical assistance, but 47-year-old Julie Eberly, who’d been sitting in the passenger seat, died.
Authorities said the couple’s six children weren’t along on the trip. Ryan Eberly said in a statement he and his wife were planning to celebrate their wedding anniversary with friends who got married at the same time.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office at 910-671-3170 or email sheriff@robesoncoso.org.
