A therapist specializing in anger management allegedly shot a man dead and stuffed his body in the trunk of his car.

Travis McBride, 46, is accused of killing a man he had an ongoing dispute with.

Cops responded to a ‘suspicious incident’ call at a home in DeLand, Florida, around 7am on Thursday and found a body nearby, FOX 35 reported.

A 911 caller said McBride killed Clinton Dorsey, 51, and dragged the body across the road and put it in his car, then drove away.

Asked by the dispatcher where the suspect took the victim’s body, the caller said he did not know.

‘I just saw him drag the body across the road. He put it in his car, and then he left,’ the caller said, according to WESH.

‘And then he came back, and not even 10 minutes ago he started scrubbing the road, and now I see him in the yard with a flashlight looking around.’

Deputies found blood drops next to a used 9mm shell casing near the driveway of the home on S Frankfort Avenue.

‘We believe there was an ongoing dispute between McBride and our victim,’ said DeLand Police Chief Jason Umberger told WKMG. ‘I don’t know if they knew each other, but they knew of each other. It unfortunately ended in one man’s death.’

McBride was arrested and charged with first degree premediated murder. He appeared in court on Friday and is being held in Volusia County jail with no bond.

A motive was not immediately determined.

McBride is a mental health counselor licensed in Florida who has served as a therapist at several practices. He opened Starting Point Mental Health LLC in 2009 and is the owner, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

He has a criminal record dating back to 1995, court records indicate. The cases around McBride’s alleged violent behavior were dropped or reduced.

It comes about a month after a school teacher’s body was found stuffed in the trunk of a car that was burned in a home explosion in the Los Angeles suburb of Quartz Hill.
