Matthew, the man accused of firing at George Zimmerman during a May 11 encounter on the road, now faces an attempted murder charge, according to reports.
The two men reportedly had an earlier run in last September that was described as a road rage incident. Police previously charged Matthew with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing into a moving car. The attempted murder charge is the latest to be added. The shooting was not fatal.
Matthew says he acted in self defense. His attorney told CNN that the new charges do not change the facts of the case and that prosecutors were simply reaching for the most serious charges available.
Matthew is scheduled to be arraigned on June 23. Charges are accusations, and he has not been convicted of anything.
