PITTSBURGH — A road rage incident led to a deadly shooting in Pittsburgh’s Sheraden neighborhood on Wednesday night, according to police.
Pittsburgh police and medics were called to the 700 block of Municipal Street at 9:14 p.m. on Wednesday.
Officers found a vehicle that appeared to have been shot twice when they arrived. A man who was shot in the head was found inside. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger inside that car told police that a man, later identified by police as Joel Ingram, 40, was behind them at a red light at the intersection of Corliss Street and West Carson Street when he started yelling at them, telling them to “move up.” An argument then ensued between the victim and Ingram.
Once the light turned green, the victim continued to drive, and Ingram followed, according to the complaint.
Another witness told police the victim’s vehicle was moving at a very slow speed and appeared to have “brake-checked” Ingram.
Ingram then allegedly pulled up next to the car and fired one to two shots, striking the victim in the head.
Police said they used surveillance cameras to track Ingram and arrest him.
Ingram has been charged with criminal homicide and carrying a firearm without a license. He’s currently in the Allegheny County Jail.
The man who was killed has not yet been identified.
