John Pratt, 24, was killed on December 18, 2015, during a road rage incident in Tampa, Florida. The confrontation began after William Sherwood rear-ended Pratt’s SUV near the intersection of Babcock Street and Brevard Drive in Melbourne. Reports say Pratt approached Sherwood at his vehicle window and was shot twice during that encounter.

Sherwood told the court he shot Pratt in self-defense because he felt threatened. Prosecutors said the shooting was the result of rage. Sherwood was later convicted of second-degree murder and faced a minimum of 25 years in prison.

If anyone witnessed the December 18 encounter or has other information about the moments leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
