Police accused the 34-year-old woman of getting angry when another driver wouldn’t let her over into traffic. She allegedly fired at least three shots at the other woman’s car.

The other driver was not physically injured, police said.

Officials arrested the suspected shooter in a nearby neighborhood, and her car was impounded. Officials said they found a handgun at the scene.

She was facing nine charges in connection to the road rage shooting, but on Jan. 27, 2025, her case was dismissed due to the victim failing to appear for trial.
