Central Florida authorities are investigating a road-rage incident that killed an Altamonte Springs man, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting took place just after 2 a.m. Sunday in Davenport, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office.
Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said during a Monday press conference that authorities received a call about a man lying in the middle of the offramp between U.S. 27 and Interstate 4. Kevin Berry, 58, was heading to work when an unknown person shot him.
Berry was taken to the hospital in grave condition but the Sheriff’s Office reported Tuesday he was removed from life support around 6:25 p.m. and died.

A witness told officials they saw Berry’s white Dodge truck and a dark-colored two-door car driving aggressively toward each other and the occupants yelling.

On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, PCSO Homicide detectives arrested 58-year-old Daniele Hamilton of Westwinds Drive in Davenport and charged him with second degree murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, shooting over a right-of-way, and tampering with evidence, after an around-the-clock investigation that began around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, October 15, 2023.

The victim, 58-year-old Kevin Berry, was heading to work in Polk County during the early morning hours on Sunday from his home in Altamonte Springs when he engaged in an altercation with another motorist on the I-4 off-ramp to US Hwy 27 in Davenport.

The altercation was witnessed by at least one person, who told detectives they saw the victim and his white truck stopped in the middle lane of the off-ramp, yelling back and forth with an unknown person parked in a car behind the truck and in the right lane. Berry was found lying on the ground outside his truck with a gunshot wound, and taken to a local hospital. He succumbed to his injury on Tuesday, October 17th.



Detectives began collecting evidence from the scene and the surrounding area, including video footage. Detectives were led to the suspect’s home in Davenport on Tuesday, October 17th, where they questioned Hamilton, who initially denied being involved and claimed he was a witness to the road rage incident.

During a search warrant, detectives found Hamilton’s .38 special revolver in his bedroom, and spent shell casings in the bedroom trash, at which time he said to the detectives, “You’ve found what you need to find so we can go [to jail].” Detectives took Hamilton into custody without incident and booked him into the Polk County Jail.

“My detectives investigate every homicide as if the victim were one of their own family members – they work around the clock, without sleep, and leave no stone unturned until they solve the case. I’m very proud of them, and very disappointed in this man who simply could have driven away when engaged in an argument with the victim. Now he’s charged with several felonies and is facing some serious prison time.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff

1986 – arrested by Orlando Police for disorderly conduct

1987 – arrested by Orlando Police for contempt of court
