A Florida man has been charged with second-degree murder after allegedly shooting another driver in a dispute over a handicapped parking space, shortly after telling him “Your day is coming.”

Richard Minor, 66, became “agitated and confrontational” after Jonathan Lee Arias, his wife and their friend, arrived at Hart’s Landing fishing pier in Sarasota and parked in the space.

Minor – a left-leg amputee – questioned whether Arias was disabled according to the probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by Law and Crime. A further back-and-forth between the two men resulted in Arias being sprayed with bear spray, and then shot, the report stated.

    Did he learn de-escalation from the police?
