Port Arthur Police are asking the public to help solve a case of road rage that turned violent when shots were fired on the morning road.
On Sept. 17 at approximately 8:30 a.m., Port Arthur Police Department officers responded to a call of shots fired.
The complainant advised he was traveling eastbound in the 1800 block of W. SH 73, when a vehicle attempted to merge into his lane. The complainant was not able to move over due to a vehicle traveling next to him, making it impossible to switch lanes.
The driver of the merging vehicle displayed a firearm and then shot at the complainant’s vehicle.
The suspect vehicle is a four-door Chevrolet truck that is dark brown in color. At the time of the shooting, the suspect vehicle was carrying an aluminum boat in the bed of the truck.
