MARIANNA -- A man injured in a road rage incident in Jackson County earlier this month has died, and two men have been arrested.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said the victim died in Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System early Wednesday morning. The man was identified as Terry Joe Gibbs, 56, of North Carolina.
According to a release from JCSO, arrested were two men: Kevin Denkevitz of Sanford, N.C. was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting into an occupied vehicle; Craig Mathew Frederickson of Maple Hill, N.C. was charged with burglary of an occupied conveyance with battery and criminal mischief greater than $200.
Denkevitz and Frederickson were two of three motorcyclists involved in an altercation on June 17 at the Sunoco gas station on State 71 in Marianna. During the incident, shots were fired into a vehicle and one of the three motorcyclists was hit by the vehicle. The third motorcyclist is the man who died Wednesday.
Investigators determined that the altercation stemmed from a road rage incident that had previously occurred on Interstate 10 between a motorist and three motorcyclists, JCSO said.
