Road rage incidents involving deadly weapons have prompted recent criminal charges across the United States. As FTMQ News reported earlier, retired New York Police Department detective Victor Romero was arrested following a fatal shooting on the George Washington Bridge in October. Outlets disagreed on whether Mr Romero faced murder or manslaughter charges after the death of off-duty utility worker Koran Irvine. [3]

In another recent case, FTMQ News reported that driver Estuardo G. Rodriguez was charged after allegedly running over motorist Krisiann Reyes Rivera in New Jersey following a minor traffic accident on Route 17. Witnesses pursued Mr Rodriguez as he attempted to flee the scene. [4]
