Woman fatally shot in apparent road-rage incident in Texas [View all]
A woman was fatally shot in the head on a Fort Worth, Texas, area road in a reported road-rage incident this week, police said Tuesday.
Paola Nunez Linares, 37, and her husband were driving in Hurst, a city between Fort Worth and Dallas, shortly after 9 p.m. when she was shot, Hurst police said in a statement.
She was struck in the head, and paramedics rushed her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Zane Jones, her husband, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth he was behind the wheel when he flipped off a car that was driving aggressively. The gunman fired at the couple's minivan, and his wife was shot in the back of the head, Jones said.
“I need him caught, I need him prosecuted, I need him in prison. I need him to know he didn’t just fire a gun into a car, ‘the end,’” Jones told the station. “He killed someone who’s not like anyone.”
The advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, which calls for stricter laws around firearms, said in May that road-rage injuries and deaths from guns have increased every year since 2018.
