I know Freepers are wonderful when it comes to praying for our FReeper family and FRiends. A friend of ours was killed last night in a road rage incident coming home from Daytona.
He leaves a sweet wife and three young children--the third just an infant.
I know our Lord will hear your prayers and bring strength to this family.
Thanks! GG
Words just don't seem adequate at a time like this. My thoughts and prayers go out to this young wife and mother and children that won't have their father to grow up with. How truly sad.
May God receive his soul, and may his family be comforted.
Prayers going up. I think I heard about this on the news today.
I am praying for this family.
I heard about him on the news this a.m. Such a senseless loss...
Jacksonville news says "Jacksonville man killed", Orlando Sentinal says he was from Land of Lakes, where was he from?? Three black perps arrested, held without bail.
Such a tragedy. Jesus, please comfort this family in their time if great sorrow.
Here is the story as reported by local6.com:
DeLAND, Fla. -- Three men in Volusia County, Fla., were arrested and charged Monday after a motorist who was on his way home from the Daytona 500 was shot and killed during a road rage incident, according to the sheriff's office.
Investigators said Eric Houk, 36, from Land O'Lakes was fatally shot at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday on Interstate 4 at the state Road 44 exit by someone in a Ford Explorer.
Houk had just left the Daytona International Speedway with his older brother when the I-4 shooting happened.
Houk was pronounced dead at Florida Hospital.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office did not say what sparked the shooting only that it was confirmed to be road rage.
David Edwards was charged with second-degree murder and Ronlee Harvin and Charles Onasanya were charged with principal to second-degree murder, according to a Volusia County Sheriff's Office news release.
