Steven Edward Powers, 61, was killed in a road rage shooting on October 27, 2024, at the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and Bloomingdale Avenue in Riverview, Florida. Powers was driving a work van with his adult grandson when a confrontation with 26-year-old Kentavious Gholston in a black Mazda escalated after Gholston cut in front of the van and brake-checked them. Powers briefly exited his vehicle and attempted to strike Gholston, who then pushed Powers to the ground and fired multiple times with a 9mm Glock, striking Powers four times. Powers was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries; his grandson was threatened with the gun before Gholston fled the scene.

Investigators used cellphone and dash cam video, surveillance from a nearby preparatory school, and a debit card traced to Gholston to identify him. Gholston surrendered to deputies on October 28, 2024, admitted to firing the weapon and to dismantling it and disposing of parts in a retention pond, and faces murder, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence, probation-violation charges and others. Prosecutors said they would seek to hold him without bond, noting he was on probation and not permitted to possess a firearm.

Are there witnesses who saw the interaction at the intersection or who captured additional footage of the moments before or after the shooting?
