A man is facing serious charges after authorities said he opened fire on another driver during a road-rage incident on the Palmetto Expressway.<\/p>\n
The incident happened Tuesday evening on the expressway near the Florida’s Turnpike overpass.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, 46-year-old Rajindra Somra and another driver became involved in a road-rage incident before Somra became aggressive and started shouting at and following the other driver.<\/p>\n
The victim said Somra chased him until they encountered traffic and came to a stop, and Somra got out of his van and approached the other driver before shooting a round through the victim’s front passenger window, the report said.<\/p>\n
Detectives tracked Somra down the next day at his place of work in Key Largo, the report said.<\/p>\n
While speaking with investigators, Somra admitted he’d been involved in a road-rage incident but denied approaching the other vehicle and said he didn’t have a firearm, the report said.<\/p>\n
Somra, of West Park, was booked into jail on charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and unlawfully discharging a firearm in public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man is facing serious charges after authorities said he opened fire on another driver during a road-rage…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410427,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226,373],"class_list":["post-410426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news","tag-miami-dade-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
