A Sumter County deputy responded to the intersection of E. Noble Ave. and N. Florida St. in Bushnell just after 10 p.m. Tuesday for reports of a truck that was shot.

The victim said he had been driving westbound on CR 656 when an SUV cut him off and blocked him from continuing to move forward.

According to the sheriff’s office, the victim said a man later identified as 43-year-old Dwayne Snow got out of the SUV and started shooting at his truck.

The victim told deputies Snow walked around to the driver’s side of his truck as he continued to shoot.

A passenger in the truck recalled seeing a man exit the SUV before the driver of the truck told her to put her head down, which she did.
