David Alexzander Sligh, a 30-year-old man from Orlando, was shot and killed on the morning of January 22, 2024, minutes before he was due to start a new full-time job. Family members described him as a loving father trying to turn his life around for his young son. The confrontation began just before 6:30 a.m. on East Colonial Drive near Lake Baldwin Lane after Sligh changed lanes in front of another driver, 26-year-old Nicholas Carrasquillo.

Court records and surveillance video show the two drivers yelled at each other after stopping at a red light. When the light turned green, Sligh’s car did not move. Carrasquillo, whose driver’s side window did not work, opened his door, reached into his glovebox, then fired a shot into the ground and five shots at Sligh, one striking him in the head. Sligh’s vehicle drifted across two lanes and hit a utility pole. He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Carrasquillo stayed at the scene and later told investigators he felt trapped, that he never saw Sligh with a weapon and that Sligh never exited his car. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm. Did anyone in the area see the confrontation or have dashcam or surveillance footage that could shed more light on those final moments?
