Orlando Woman Arrested in Disturbing Road Rage Incident
In a shocking turn of events that has left the local community in disbelief, an Orlando woman named Tina Allgeo, aged 47, was arrested on February 18, 2025, in connection to a deadly road rage shooting that took place back in December. This incident has drawn attention to an alarming rise in aggressive driving behavior and its life-threatening consequences.
The Incident Unfolds
The entire saga began on December 2, 2024, near the bustling 2800 block of East Colonial Drive. What was intended to be a routine drive turned into a highway horror story as tensions escalated between two vehicles. Those who witnessed the event described a scenario filled with driver hostility, ultimately culminating in the untimely death of another driver, Mihail Tsvetkov, aged 42.
Witnesses jumped into action, calling 911 to report a man who had shockingly “been shot in the face.” Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but despite their efforts, Tsvetkov was later pronounced dead at the hospital, leaving friends and family mourning his loss.
The Gruesome Details
As police arrived to piece together the situation, Allgeo was immediately detained. Eyewitness testimony from a man named Jeremy Buice caught the attention of detectives, as he had just dropped off his brother when he noticed the chaotic events unfold. He recounted seeing Tsvetkov shot in the head during the violent exchange.
Detectives turned to video evidence provided by witnesses, painting a clearer picture of what had transpired. Footage revealed Allgeo exiting her vehicle in the midst of traffic, capturing photos of Tsvetkov’s car, and following him closely. This set the stage for a collision; Allgeo’s vehicle intentionally struck Tsvetkov’s, prompting him to attempt an escape.
Escalating Violence
As the situation heated up, witnesses noted that Tsvetkov allegedly confronted Allgeo after the collision, leading him to attack her. In a desperate act of self-defense, Allgeo drew her firearm and fired, resulting in Tsvetkov sustaining grave injuries.
In a subsequent statement given through her attorney, Allgeo claimed that the incident began when Tsvetkov had been tailgating her. She asserted that she was merely trying to report his reckless behavior and followed him to do just that. However, events spiraled out of control when their vehicles collided – an incident she described as accidental.
The Aftermath and Legal Proceedings
As the investigation unfolded, authorities focused primarily on Allgeo’s actions prior to the shooting. It was clear that she had made the choice to follow and collide with Tsvetkov’s vehicle, an aspect that is now central to her legal troubles. Additionally, Allgeo’s description of being assaulted by Tsvetkov, who she claims had punched her multiple times while she was still in her car, has further complicated her defense.
Allgeo faces serious charges, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, although she has yet to be charged for Tsvetkov’s death. This lack of immediate charges indicates that investigators are still closely examining all aspects of the altercation that precipitated the tragic event.
A Community in Shock
This tragic road rage incident has cast a dark shadow over Orlando and has left many locals questioning how aggression on the road can escalate into such dire situations. As legal proceedings move forward, the community watches closely, hoping for accountability while grappling with the deep impact of this devastating event.
As we continue to follow this unfolding story, it serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of road safety and the devastating consequences that can arise from a moment of anger behind the wheel.
