Video reportedly shows victim and suspect blowing grass at one another before shooting

Video shot by a witness, WXIN-TV reported, shows Florence holding a leaf blower near the victim as he rode "a zero-turn riding lawn mower" near his property line.

Footage shows the victim "blowing cut grass off his property" and Florence use the leaf blower to shoot it back toward his neighbor, the TV station reported. The video shows Florence allegedly point the leaf blower at the victim and blow air at him.

At one point, the victim mows in Florence’s direction and nearly hits his neighbor's leg, "causing him to step aside and blow air at the victim again," deputies wrote in court documents obtained by the outlet. Florence then "went behind the mower to the other side of the victim, drew a handgun from his holster and shot the victim."

When interviewed by deputies, Florence's wife told officers she was inside the couple's home when the shooting took place, the outlet reported, and that she walked outside and heard her husband say, “Get in the house, I just shot (the victim).”
