FOX News reported the incident. “The crime took place at night and the victim was idling with his lights on when, seemingly out of nowhere, an SUV and a sedan coming from the opposite direction serve [sic] across several lanes of traffic and envelop the vehicle, blocking a potential escape,” the outlet said.  “The front-seat passenger of the SUV, angled in front of the victim’s vehicle, then exits and points a firearm directly at the victim.”
