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.
The shooting blocked I-4 traffic for hours Sunday night but the road has since reopened. Most of the motorists stuck in the traffic jam were traveling home from the Daytona 500.
