According to police, Derr said he was riding his motorcycle when Sara Morales intentionally hit him with her car before driving away.

Police say Derr and other witnesses followed Morales to the intersection of Highway 17-92 and Wisconsin Avenue, where they told Morales to stop and that law enforcement had been called.

“Is the motorcycle down on the ground?,” a dispatcher can be heard asking in 911 calls released by the Orange City Police Department Monday. “Is he breathing and conscious?”

“He’s fine ... the lady just took off and left,” the caller responds.

At one point, Morales made her own call to police, in which she claimed the men were being aggressive and threatening her.

Police say Morales continued to her home, went inside and came out with a gun to confront Derr and the other witnesses, who had continued to follow.

“You’re three men. You followed me. Leave me alone,” Morales shouts as multiple gunshots are heard.

Police say Morales pointed her gun at Derr and the witnesses, at which point Derr drew his own handgun and shot her multiple times.
