A Volusia County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a Port Orange man who was “brandishing a firearm” Saturday in Daytona Beach, Sheriff Ben Johnson said.
...
Hernandez and another deputy who has not been identified already were at Fryer’s Towing on an unrelated matter when one of them heard a heated argument taking place outside, sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said.
...
The sheriff said Miller and his son, who was not identified, had been at Fryer’s Towing on Friday night and returned Saturday. He provided no additional details on the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood confirmed a disturbance had occurred at the business Friday night involving the son. Details on the disturbance were not immediately available.

Sounds like maybe the man came back with a gun when he didn't get the result he wanted the night before. There is probably a lot more to this story than is available now.
