Scriven was indicted in July only on the weapons charge.
According to the arrest report, Scriven told deputies that after he passed Bradley on County Road 13, Bradley began following him and driving aggressively. He said he got a handgun out of his glove compartment and pulled into the gas station, where he thought it would be safe.
Scriven said Bradley pulled in after him, striking Scriven's car with his pickup truck. Both men got out of their vehicles, Scriven with a gun in his hand.
He said Bradley charged at him, so he fired in self-defense. Police said no weapon was found with Bradley or in his vehicle.
Investigators said some of the shots were fired after Bradley went to the ground.
The shooting was caught on surveillance video in the parking lot of the Kangaroo on East Church Street in St. Johns County.
According to the arrest report, deputies found that Scriven pursued Bradley after he fired the initial shot and then fired again as Bradley attempted to retreat.
Surveillance video shows Bradley running over to Scriven, and then Scriven shooting him. Bradley goes down, and tries to roll away, as Scriven keeps firing.
Deputies said Scriven left the scene, did not call 911 and left his car behind a trailer in Palatka. Later that night, family members called police, and he met with investigators.
