JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A father and son have been charged after a road rage shooting on Interstate 10 last September killed one person and wounded three others, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.
Officers responded Sept. 18, 2025, to reports of a shooting on I-10 east near I-95 north and found four people with gunshot wounds inside an SUV. Toby Robinson, 26, died of his injuries.
Three adults, a 28-year-old woman, a 29-year-old man and an 18-year-old man survived. A 3-year-old girl in the vehicle was not hurt, police said.
At the time, police said that the shooting appeared to be a road rage incident, and the shooter was in a black vehicle.
Detectives spent nine months investigating and used multiple investigative tools to identify the suspect, police said.
Investigators identified 43-year-old Leonard Bryant Sr. as the gunman. Officials said his son, 22-year-old Leonard Bryant Jr., was an accessory to the murder and tampered with evidence.
Bryant Jr. was arrested Dec. 17, 2025, police said. On June 4, 2026, he entered a guilty plea to the accessory charge. He has not yet been sentenced.
Bryant Sr. was taken into custody on June 19 after a SWAT team located him. He is charged with murder in Robinson’s death, four counts of attempted murder for the others who were in the car, and possession of a firearm by a felon, court records show.
He is scheduled for arraignment on July 13.
Bryant Jr. will be back in court on Aug. 20 for a status hearing.
“We’ll continue to work to bring justice to everyone impacted in this reckless act,” JSO said.
No additional information about court dates or possible motives was released. JSO asked anyone with information about the case to call (904) 630-0500, by email at jsocrimetips@jaxsheriff.org, or via CrimeStoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
