Dallas Police are investigating two separate road rage shootings on the same stretch of freeway.
Two people were shot along U.S. 175 in southeast Dallas in a span of eight hours on Friday and early Saturday.
DPD said a 14-year-old was critically injured early Saturday morning and a husband and father was killed near the intersection of U.S. 175 and Interstate 20 after a road rage shooting during the afternoon rush hour.
Dallas Police identified the victim in the shooting Friday as 59-year-old Rudy Marshall.

Frank Marshall said the sudden and violent loss of his son has kept him awake since he learned of the shooting.
“I haven’t slept since yesterday morning,” Marshall said.
DPD said just after 5 p.m. Friday, Marshall was traveling westbound on U.S. 175 near the interchange with i-20 when another driver fired into his car, in what detectives describe as a road-rage incident.
