Man arrested following deadly shooting on I-95, JSO says drug use may have played a role

Jacksonville, FL — The exact motive remains unclear, but the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is announcing an arrest, following a deadly shooting over the weekend.

According to JSO, Steven Grady, 25, and two other people were all traveling together through Jacksonville to North Carolina, on their way back from Orlando.

As they were driving on I-95, near Union Street, police say the passenger in the front seat, Tyrell Brown, 32, woke up from a nap and without warning, pulled out a gun and shot Grady in the head.

The person in the backseat was eventually able to get control of their car, but they did hit several objects, before coming to a stop.

When police arrived, they say Brown resisted violently and had to be subdued. He was then taken to the hospital for his own safety.

JSO says there wasn't any fight between Brown and Grady, prior to the shooting, but it's believed there was some drug use involved.

Brown is now charged with murder.
