Deltona, FL – Deputies have arrested a 21-year-old man at a motel in Deltona and charged him in the road rage shooting Saturday near I-4 in Deltona that wounded an Ormond Beach man in the leg.
Deputies say Altamonte Springs authorities identified Jose Torres as the suspect in a shooting there and contacted VCSO because of the similarities in the shooting there and the crime here.
Deputies arrested Torres at the Travelodge near the scene of the Deltona shooting. In his motel room, deputies found a loaded gun and drugs. Torres is a felon on probation until 2021.
Sheriff’s Office spokesman Gary Davidson says both agencies tried to question Torres but he wasn’t talking.
Torres is charged here with attempted murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, armed trafficking in cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, attempt to solicit or conspire to commit a life felony, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and two probation violations.
Torres is being held without bond at the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.
