A 16-year-old boy was shot and killed in an apparent road rage shooting following a minor crash in Dallas Tuesday night, police say.
According to investigators with the Dallas Police Department, the teen was in an SUV with three others driving along Santa Anna Avenue toward Shiloh Road when their vehicle bumped side mirrors with an oncoming vehicle.
The driver of the second vehicle, police said, turned around and drove up to the SUV and began shooting. One of the three occupants, a teenager, was hit at least once. Three others in the vehicle were not injured.
The driver of the SUV left the area and drove with the injured teen to the 4600 block of East RL Thornton Freeway, about seven miles away. That's where police said the occupants of the SUV flagged down first responders with Dallas Fire-Rescue at about 9:20 p.m. DFR notified police of the shooting and took the injured teenager to a nearby hospital where he later died.
