A simmering road rage dispute on a Tuesday morning in Apopka, Florida, tragically escalated into a fatal shooting, claiming the life of Michael Joshua Chak on July 28, 2026. The altercation, which began on West Orange Blossom Trail, culminated in a deadly confrontation in the parking lot of a Home Depot.

Upon arrival, officers discovered Michael Joshua Chak with a gunshot wound. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Investigators quickly determined that the shooting was the grim conclusion of a road rage encounter that had moved from the public roadway to the retail parking lot.
The other individual involved in the altercation was identified as Kameron Deandre Berry. Following the shooting, Berry was taken into custody by the Apopka Police Department. Authorities at the time assured the public that it was an isolated incident and that there was no further threat to the community.
