A Florida Man was arrested for a road rage shooting that occurred on May 5, 2024, on Alligator Alley (Interstate 75). The incident involved a black Toyota Tundra driver with a U-Haul trailer who was shot at by an individual inside a black Infiniti QX80 following a road rage altercation.
The altercation took place around 5 p.m. on the mentioned date as the Tundra driver was traveling south on Alligator Alley.

As a result of the investigation, the Infiniti was impounded, evidence was collected, and Gonzalez was arrested on various charges before being transported to Collier County Jail. FHP issued a reminder to the public to avoid engaging in confrontations during road rage incidents and to seek assistance by calling *FHP once in a safe location.
