ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County deputies said a passerby helped them get results and arrest a suspect in connection to what they are calling a possible road-rage incident that happened Thursday morning.
Deputies arrested Jose Tirado, 28. He's facing several charges, including first-degree attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The sheriff's office said Tirado shot at another man while driving along Alafaya Trail near Golfway Boulevard.
Deputies found bullet holes on the victim's car. They said he wasn't hurt.
A passerby saw what happened and wrote down Tirado's tag number when he drove off.
The passerby called the sheriff's office and gave them the information. They used the tag number to track Tirado down and located him at his home, where they arrested him.
The sheriff's office is crediting the passerby's quick actions and for helping them get results.
It's unclear if Tirado and the victim knew each other. Deputies haven't released any information on a motive. The sheriff's office told News 6 that more details will become available once the report is released.
Tirado is booked in the Orange County jail.
