Man Dies After Road Rage Punch Sends Him Into Traffic
DAVIE, Fla. -- An altercation in a casino parking lot escalated into road rage and ended with a man killed in a hit-and-run accident, officials said.
Julio Cesar Roqueta Reyes, 24, of Miami, died early Sunday morning when he was knocked into traffic and struck by a vehicle at a Davie intersection, police spokesman Bill Bamford said.
Roqueta became involved in a heated dispute around 4 a.m. with another man over Roqueta's souped-up Dodge Neon in the parking lot of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, police said.
Both men got in their own vehicles and continued hurling insults at each other as they drove north toward Davie, police said.
At the intersection of State Road 7 and Griffin Road in Davie, both men got out of their cars and began fighting. Roqueta was punched in the face, knocking him into northbound traffic, Bamford said.
Police said Roqueta was killed instantly, and the driver of the vehicle that stuck him never stopped.
Bamford said the man who punched Roqueta fled after the incident, but was soon apprehended. Police did not release his identity Sunday night. It was not known if he would be charged with a crime, Bamford said.
