A man was killed in what Daytona Beach police officers are calling a deadly road rage shooting outside a McDonald’s on LPGA Blvd.

Detectives said a preliminary investigation suggests the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident that began in the drive-thru lane.

The investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed. One crime expert told FOX 35 that Florida's Stand Your Ground defense may apply here.

"It is literally the same standard that law enforcement has to abide by, meaning that I am in fear for my life or imminent danger, or another person is in fear for their life, imminent danger," said Dave Thomas, a professor of forensics studies at Florida Gulf Coast University. "That's what has to be proven or disproven."

Daytona Beach Police have not released names of the shooter or the woman they found performing CPSR on the victim.
