ORLANDO, Fla. – A road rage incident in an Orlando Walmart parking lot Tuesday evening led to shots fired and a bystander’s vehicle being hit with a stray bullet.
The incident happened in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter off Kirkman Road and Metrowest Boulevard.
According to Orlando police, a man was driving by the garden center when he heard three or four thuds, and then a mirror exploded. The driver was not injured, police said.
According to a police report, the driver said he asked Walmart security to check surveillance video to see what happened and, while waiting, he found what looked like a bullet on the ground under his mirror.
Police say witnesses saw an argument between the occupants of a silver BMW and a red pickup truck, and then one of the people in the BMW fired about 10 shots at the truck. Both vehicles then left the area.
Bullet casings were found in front of one of the stores.

Police say they were able to find the silver BMW in the area of Washington Shores Park, but it fled the area, running some red lights. The car was later found at an apartment complex, where police arrested the driver, identified as Angel Javier Morell O’Neill, 40.
Police say Morell told police that he was taking his mother to a doctor’s appointment when the red pickup cut him off and started following him. Morell got out his Glock because he was concerned the driver of the truck would have a gun, according to the police report.
Officers say he fired his gun and then drove home, throwing the weapon out of his vehicle along South Kirkman Road.

Police say they also found the driver of the red pickup. The driver said he was on his way to Walmart when he saw the silver car at a traffic light. He told police Morell showed him his middle finger, so the truck driver did the same.
While they were in the parking lot, the pickup driver said he heard three gunshots and saw the driver of the silver car take off.
Police arrested Morell, who faces charges of attempted second-degree murder with a firearm and shooting/throwing a missile into a vehicle.
