One dead, two injured in road rage shooting in Tucson

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Authorities have identified the man killed in a road rage shooting in Tucson late last week.

The Tucson Police Department said 27-year-old Erick Gomez was one of three men found shot near the intersection of East Bilby Road and South Nogales Highway around 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13. Gomez died at the scene while the other two men suffered injuries that are not life-threatening.
