Port Charlotte, Florida, September 18, 2024 (FOX 4 NOW)
A shooting and stabbing at a Port Charlotte Wawa stemmed from a “no parking” decal on a man’s vehicle, according to a report.
According to court documents, deputies say a maintenance worker for CRE Consultants had been at a plaza with an auto parts store and Wawa. Fox 4 is not naming the worker because they are a victim of a crime…
The report says as the worker went to grab his phone from his pocket, Gooden pulled a small, folding knife from his pocket and stabbed the worker in the chest, and jaw. As they were fighting on the ground, the report says the worker kicked Gooden off…
When they both got up, the report says Gooden grabbed the worker’s gun and moved towards him. The worker yelled “we’re done, we’re done,” and got into his truck to leave, the report said.
Documents state the worker saw Gooden heads to Wawa and said he turned around to get his truck between Gooden and the people standing around.
It was then, the report says, Gooden shot through the worker’s windshield. That’s when the worker got a rifle from his backseat, as Gooden started shooting through the back window before shooting in the front again, the report said.
According to deputies, the worker shot back eight times before Gooden ran off. They started shooting at each other again, and the report says the worker shot Gooden twice.
The report says Gooden took off towards the woods and the worker tried to look for him because he believed Gooden “intended to kill him and was concerned that Anthony [Gooden] wanted to harm the innocent bystanders,” according to the report.
A witness told deputies they heard two volleys of gunfire between the two men and had to duck into a van to avoid being hit.
When the gunfire stopped, the witness told deputies they went to help the worker…
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office charged Gooden with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, firing a weapon into a vehicle, larceny and discharging a firearm in public…
