A 20-year-old man in Arizona has been arrested after he allegedly killed his 32-year-old stepfather, gunning him down during a road rage incident sparked by the older man “brake checking” him. Jorge Adrian Ramirez was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count of unlawfully discharging a firearm in the slaying of Jose Angel Ruiz Leyva, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Phoenix Police Department, officers at about 5:35 p.m. on Feb. 3 responded to an area near the 4000 block of West Hadley Street, near 40th Avenue, after reports of a shooting.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they located an adult male victim — later identified as Leyva — suffering from “at least one gunshot wound.” Emergency medical personnel immediately transported Leyva to Banner University Medical Center for treatment of “serious injuries” suffered in the attack. However, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the facility.

Detectives responded to the location of the shooting and assumed control of the investigation. Detectives obtained surveillance footage from the area near the crime scene which they say showed a vehicle believed to be involved in the incident leaving the area after the shooting. That vehicle was being driven by Ramirez, police said.

Additional details about the shooting were revealed in court documents obtained by Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO.
