A Texas man was arrested after allegedly firing multiple rounds at another vehicle on I-4 near Daytona Beach on Tuesday night.
First Report
The backstory:
On June 17, 2025, around 6:40 p.m., officials at the Sanford Regional Communications Center received a phone call reporting a reckless driver on Insterstate 4 near Mile Marker 125 in Volusia County.
The vehicle, which was described as a white BMW, was traveling westbound, and reportedly was driving recklessly at high speeds, running other vehicles off the road and “brake checking” them.
The complaint also mentioned that the vehicle had pulled off to the right shoulder of I-4.
Second Report
At the same time, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office received a separate complaint. The caller, later identified as the victim in this incident, described a similar vehicle and situation. However, the victim claimed the driver of the BMW pulled out a firearm, pointed it and fired multiple shots towards the back of their car.
The victim also mentioned that the BMW had a Texas license plate.
Multiple Florida Highway Patrol units were dispatched. With the help of multiple Flock cameras, FHP was able to locate the vehicle.
The driver was identified as 37-year-old ZM, a resident of Kyle, Texas. According to FHP, when they first spoke to M. he denied any involvement. Eventually, he stated that he was involved in a “road-rage” incident, involving a large red truck, which he described as also driving erratically.
M’s claims were inconsistent with the victims. Following further questions, according to FHP, out of frustration, M confessed to firing the gun at the victim’s vehicle. He stated he was aiming for the rear tire in hopes of “disabling the vehicle”.
Faces multiple charges
What we know:
M was arrested and has been charged with:

M. is currently being held at the Volusia County Jail and will make his first appearance on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 1:30PM.
