Records said Nicholas Carrasquillo told police that he fatally shot David Alexzander Sligh shortly before 6:30 a.m. at East Colonial Drive and Lake Baldwin Lane because Sligh had cut him off in traffic and would not move when a traffic light turned green.
David Bouton, Sligh’s uncle, spoke with Channel 9 on Tuesday, saying his nephew was like a son to him.
“I don’t know how somebody that angry can do something like that,” he said. “I don’t know how that could ever pan out.”
Police said surveillance video showed Sligh changing lanes at a red light.

Carrasquillo said Sligh cut him off, so he honked his horn and flashed his lights at Sligh, records said.
According to documents, Carrasquillo said Sligh responded by shouting at him and refusing to move his car when the light turned green.
