Fred William Turner Jr, age 47, of Orlando was shot and killed Saturday afternoon while on the phone with 911 claiming someone was following him.

The dispatcher heard the shots fired.

Investigators arrested 48-year-old Jerome Edward Hayes of St. Cloud, who according to his lawyer, turned himself in voluntarily on Monday morning.

During a press conference Monday afternoon, Colonel Donna Lusczynski clarified that this incident did not stem from road rage, but rather a case of mistaken identity, “and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Hayes and a friend of his got into an altercation with someone while at The Gold Club that day, waited outside for that person to leave, and then followed Turner as he left Tres Equis- thinking he was the man from their fight.

Turner was not ever engaged in the disagreement, and according to Colonel Lusczynski, he lost his life over a misunderstanding.
