Fox News reported on the shooting:
George Howard, 48, allegedly became involved in a road rage altercation on an Interstate 94 entrance ramp before he shot another driver, according to Minneapolis police – weeks after bailing out on domestic assault charges.
Surveillance video recorded the moments when the driver of a blue BMW confronted Howard, who was driving a white Volvo, according to St. Paul’s KSTP-TV. The victim can be seen punching Howard, then collapsing.
The victim, later identified as Luis Damian Martinez Ortiz, 38, got back into his car, then drove into the median. He was pronounced dead at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to city officials.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund paid the $11,500 bond to get Howard out of jail where he was facing domestic abuse charges.
Howard was released on August 6 and on August 29 he was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting.
