Fifteen years ago Florida native Gary Lynne Durham killed a man in a road rage incident and served 10 years in prison—on Wednesday he was killed in another traffic related dispute that family of his victim are calling "ironic."

Durham, 40, was fatally shot at early Wednesday in Plant City, Fla. after he got out of his black Mazda pickup during rush hour and confronted a man stopped behind him driving a Ford SUV.

It’s unclear what led to the confrontation, but it escalated to the point that the Ford driver, 42-year-old Roger Padgett, pulled out his handgun and fired at least one one round into Durham.

Padgett called 911 and attempted to resuscitate Durham as he lay dying on the pavement, but he could not be saved.
