*Matthew Apperson encounters

On September 9, 2014, George Zimmerman was named by police in a road rage incident where he reportedly threatened and followed another driver,[45] later named by police as Matthew Apperson.[46] Zimmerman reportedly responded aggressively when he noticed Apperson pointing at him. According to Apperson, Zimmerman said "Do you know who I am?" before saying, "I'll (expletive) kill you." Zimmerman allegedly followed Apperson to a parking lot while Apperson called 911, but Zimmerman fled before the police arrived.[47] Apperson declined to press charges.

On May 11, 2015, Zimmerman suffered minor facial injuries from flying glass and debris when Apperson shot at him on a street in Lake Mary,[46] shattering the passenger side window of Zimmerman's vehicle.[48][49][50] Apperson maintained that Zimmerman was the aggressor and that Apperson acted in self-defense.[51][52] Zimmerman's attorney stated of Zimmerman's gun, "George absolutely denies having shown it, waved, displayed, pointed it." A Lake Mary police spokesperson stated that "the investigation has proven that George Zimmerman was not the shooter."[51] On May 15, 2015, Apperson was jailed in Sanford, Florida with a bond of $35,000 on charges related to the shooting.[53]
