Florida Man Shoots at Instacart Delivery Workers Who Went to the Wrong House

A man in South Florida shot at two Instacart delivery workers who mistakenly drove onto his property, leaving their car with several bullet holes and a flat tire. According to the Davie Police Department report, 19-year-old Waldes Thomas Jr. and 18-year-old Diamond Harley Darville were attempting to deliver an Instacart order on the evening of April 15 but were having trouble locating the address. The pair mistakenly pulled their car onto the property of Antonio Caccavale, 43, in Southwest Ranches, a town about 20 miles northwest of Miami. Caccavale told investigators that he asked his son to tell the vehicle occupants to leave. He said he heard his son calling for help and ran to his aid, where Caccavale said the vehicle was driving "erratically" and hitting items on the property, such as boulders and fence posts. The car reversed, sideswiped him, and ran over his right foot, Caccavale said, which was when he drew his Smith & Wesson Shield handgun and fired several shots toward the tires. He told police he wanted to disable the vehicle. This recent incident of shooting at misplaced delivery personnel from Instacart and other delivery services has raised concerns about safety in the gig economy.
