HOUSTON (AP) — An apparent road rage incident in the Houston area has left a man shot to death and a second driver charged with murder.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says 25-year-old Travein Straughter was being held Wednesday on $50,000 bond.
Authorities did not immediately provide information on an attorney for Straughter, who was arrested following Tuesday night’s gunfire. The name of the 38-year-old SUV driver who was killed wasn’t immediately released.
The sheriff’s office says Straughter told deputies that the SUV driver tried to run him off the road, then followed him home and allegedly tried to run over him. Investigators say the SUV driver was shot while revving the vehicle’s engine and accelerating. He was dead at the scene.
Deputies say Straughter fled, but later returned to the scene.
