One witness who came forward reported seeing a white Dodge truck (Berry&#8217;s) and a dark-colored two-door car driving around each other aggressively, moving back and forth between lanes on the off-ramp and then stopping. The witness heard both drivers yelling at each other. The witness reported possibly three other vehicles in the area at the time, whose drivers\/occupants may have also witnessed the incident. The suspect could have fled south down US Hwy 27 or got back onto the Interstate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berry was found on the ground outside his truck parked in the middle lane of the off-ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detectives are asking anyone who may have seen or heard something between 2:00 and 2:15 a.m. to please contact the Polk County Sheriff&#8217;s Office at 863-298-6200 and reference case number 23-42221.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>***THERE IS A $5,000 CASH REWARD FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SHOOTING.
