ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County deputies are asking for help finding the man they say shot and killed a man in another car while driving on Interstate 4.

The shooting happened between 6:45 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. Tuesday. 

John-John Villafane, 53, was riding in the passenger seat of a blue Toyota Corolla on I-4 Eastbound between Osceola Parkway and State Road 528 when a verbal fight ensued with a man driving another car, the sheriff's office wrote.

The fight escalated, leading the driver of the other car to shoot at the Corolla and hit Villafane, according to deputies.

Villafane was driven to the hospital where he died from his injuries. Deputies added that neither Villafane nor the man driving the Corolla was armed.

The sheriff's office says the identity of the shooter is unknown and detectives are looking for any information that could lead them to the person.
