A 78-year-old Florida man is accused of killing a 42-year-old neighbor who was trimming trees over a property line the Volusia County men shared.
Investigators believe Edward S. Druzolowski fatally shot Brian J. Ford shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday.
“Druzolowski told detectives he threatened to shoot Ford, and when Ford didn’t leave, he shot him,” the Volusia Sheriff’s office reported.
The alleged shooter was taken into custody and held on a second-degree murder charge.
“The first two deputies on scene attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived, but Ford was pronounced deceased on scene,” according to the sheriff’s department.
The incident occurred in DeLeon Springs, which is home to roughly 2,600 residents. Its most celebrated son is former Mets ace Jacob deGrom.
