Kentavious Gholston, 26 was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree murder for the death of Steven Powers, 61, after the two men got into an argument in traffic.
Power’s family is shocked by the crime.
“It’s just sad that it happened like this. It shouldn’t have never happened,” said the victim’s nephew Larry Davis.
“My Uncle Steve, very hard worker, caring person, would do anything for anybody,” Davis added.
The sheriff’s office said Powers and Gholston were driving north on U.S. 301 when Powers saw Gholston racing dangerously through traffic.
Sheriff Chad Chronister said Powers honked his horn, and Gholston became enraged. Gholston reportedly brake checked Powers before stopping his car in front of the older man’s van.
