Case Number: CF2400918

 

Young Guns Defendant Convicted in Interstate 95 Road Rage Incident

ST. AUGUSTINE โ€“ After a two-day trial, a St. Johns County jury found Young Guns defendant Anthony Grey guilty of two counts of Aggravated Assault (Firearm), Improper Exhibition of a Dangerous Weapon, Tampering with Physical Evidence and Discharging a Firearm from a Vehicle.

On May 24, 2024, Grey, who was only 24 years old at the time, was driving south on Interstate 95 when he initiated a road rage incident.

The defendant took out a gun and proceeded to wave it while yelling at another driver who was in the car with his wife and three children. He then intentionally fired a shot.

Grey sped away from the scene to a rental home in Flagler County where he disassembled the gun and disposed of the parts in the ocean and a nearby wooded area.

โ€œAnother example of a Young Guns defendant resorting to gun violence aimed at a family with small children on their way to Disney,โ€ State Attorney R.J. Larizza said about the case. โ€œBy the grace of God, no one was injured or killed. He deserves the maximum sentence and we will be urging the judge to do just that.โ€

The case was investigated by the St. Johns County Sheriffโ€™s Office. Assistant State Attorneys Sarah Thomas and Val Avanesov successfully tried the case for the state. The Honorable Lee Smith presided over the case and will pronounce sentence at a later date. Grey faces up to 30 years in prison for the crimes.
