A Florida man was arrested Friday after deputies said he killed a man after he punched him over an argument about whether he touched his truck, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Warren Buchanan, 51, got into a fight with German Heredia, 67, after he said Heredia touched his pickup truck on Jan. 5, according to deputies. Heredia was walking with his granddaughters and dogs down a road when the confrontation occurred, the Orlando Sentinel reported. The two men began arguing, and Buchanan hit Heredia in the face, deputies said.
The blow knocked Heredia to the ground, which is when his head hit the concrete driveway knocking him unconscious, deputies added. He was taken to the hospital where he died.
The Brevard County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a homicide caused by trauma to the head.
