CADDO PARISH, La. (KSLA) – Emergency crews responded to a deadly road rage shooting on Interstate 20 in Caddo Parish on Tuesday morning (April 23).
According to Caddo Parish dispatch records, it happened just after 10 a.m. near I-20 at U.S. Highway 80. At least 15 units with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office initially responded.
The sheriff’s office confirms a man was killed in the shooting.
The victim has been identified through fingerprint comparison as 36-year-old Gurpreet Singh Judge, of Yuba City, Calif., according to the Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office.
Capt. Bobby Herring, who heads up the criminal investigations division for the sheriff’s office, said they believe this was a road rage incident.
Judge and someone driving a dark-colored Acura SUV got into some sort of verbal altercation, Herring said. Both drivers pulled over onto the on-ramp at Exit 3 in Greenwood and got out of their vehicles.
Officials said the truck driver tried to run away, but the driver of the SUV followed the truck driver and “executed” him.
CPSO officials said the driver of the SUV drove from the scene; they believe the driver headed west on I-20 into Texas. Multiple agencies are working to find the driver. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office has been notified.
Herring also said they’re getting dashcam video from two other truckers who witnessed what happened.
The westbound on-ramp at Exit 3 has since been reopened.
Anyone with information about what happened should call Detective Vincent Jackson at 318-681-0700 or 318-675-2170.
