Daytona Beach, FL – Volusia County Sheriff’s Office (VCSO) deputies are investigating an early morning shooting at a motel in Daytona Beach.
At around 4:30 AM on Sunday, VCSO deputies responded to the Motel 6 located at 2992 W. International Speedway Blvd. in reference to a shooting. A witness told the VCSO that the shooting occurred after an argument and confrontation over a traffic incident.
A 33-year-old man and his two passengers were cut off by a pair of vehicles at International Speedway Blvd. and Tomoka Farms Road. All the vehicles pulled into the Motel 6 parking lot and an argument began.
At some point during the argument, the 33-year-old was shot once in the left abdomen. His injuries were not fatal and he was conscious and talking when he was transported to Halifax Health Medical Center.
One of the victim’s friends told the VCSO that the shooter was part of a group of males. The shooter and the group of males left the scene immediately after the shooting. Witnesses describe the cars that fled as a possible newer model silver Mazda with Oregon tags and a blue Infiniti.
The shooting is currently under investigation by the VCSO.
