\n

A Florida father<\/a> who had just dropped off his daughter for her first day of elementary school was shot and killed after trying to intervene in a fight between a man and a woman, police and reports said.<\/p>\n

Daryl Hill, 56, now leaves behind his wife, two adult children and his 10-year-old daughter following the incident Tuesday morning near Wolf Lake Elementary School in Apopka, according to FOX 35 Orlando.<\/a><\/p>\n

“He\u2019s got the biggest heart in the entire world,” Damon Hill, his son, told the station. “He loved everybody… He just loved his fellow person, and he was very non-judgmental.”<\/p>\n

The Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office said<\/a> the shooting unfolded after witnesses described seeing a man and woman fighting inside a vehicle, before the vehicle crashed and the brawl spilled outside.<\/p>\n

“Witnessing that altercation, a Good Samaritan attempted to intervene and was shot. That man, 56-year-old Daryl Alexander Hill, later died at the hospital,” the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Hill was simply trying to help someone who appeared to be in distress when he was shot by 26-year-old Raul Lionel Vazquez. Vazquez was arrested on a charge of Second-Degree Murder<\/a>,” it added.<\/p>\n

Suzanne Hill, Daryl\u2019s wife, told Spectrum News 13<\/a> that her husband was a “friend, family and stranger: he cared for everybody and helped everybody and always stepped in, which I think is ultimately what took his life.”<\/p>\n

Police said the shooting happened at Plymouth Sorrento and West Ponkan roads in Apopka, which is down the road from the elementary school.<\/p>\n

Before Hill was shot, Vazquez and a woman, Kaidy Honaker, were seen by multiple witnesses fighting inside their white Chevy Silverado pickup truck when it crashed into a black Lexus, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. The two continued their heated altercation on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Vazquez, who was seen shirtless and wearing no shoes, got in Honaker’s face and appeared to be yelling and pointing at her, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n

Two witnesses said they saw Hill riding a bicycle nearby and told authorities that he got involved in the argument, which led to Vazquez and Hill tackling each other into the bushes, per the affidavit.<\/p>\n

According to the affidavit, Honaker joined the fight as well, later saying she did so to pull Hill off Vazquez.<\/p>\n

After the fight in the bushes, Hill began running away from Vazquez and Honaker, yelling “help” with his hands in the air, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n

Vazquez retrieved what was later determined to be a shotgun from his pickup truck and fired one round, hitting Hill and causing him to fall to the ground, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

In an interview with investigators, Vazquez offered “many different accounts” of what happened but said that Hill “was fighting him and getting the better of him,” according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

At the time of the shooting, Vazquez was out on bond for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

FOX 35 reported that a judge has since revoked that bond and ordered him held without bond in that case and for the second-degree murder charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
