Kenneth Michael Cuevas, 27, of Riverview, Florida, was shot and later died after a road rage confrontation in Brandon on October 14, 2016. The shooting occurred about 6:30 PM on Bloomingdale Avenue near Kings Avenue after Cuevas exited his vehicle and approached another car at a red light. The other driver has been identified as 47-year-old Michael Hayes of Valrico.

Both men were armed during the confrontation and shots were fired; Cuevas was critically injured and was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds. Hayes remained at the scene and cooperated with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Initial reports said no charges were immediately filed and the case was under active investigation while witnesses and evidence were being reviewed.

This case underscores how a brief driving altercation escalated to deadly violence. Does anyone have information about the events on Bloomingdale Avenue that evening or about either man’s movements before the shooting?
