SUGAR LAND, Texas – Police are searching for a man who allegedly opened fire on a family during a road rage incident.
A woman named Kimberly said she was driving with her husband and their 10-year-old son on FM 762 in Rosenberg on June 21. When they were getting onto Highway 59, a man driving an older model black Lexus cut them off. Kimberly's husband drove around and pulled in front of the Lexus.
Police said the Lexus driver then began tailgating Kimberly's family, so her husband braked several times, which caused the Lexus to go off the road onto a grassy median.
But that didn't stop the driver of the Lexus. He continued north on Highway 59, catching up with Kimberly's family. Suddenly, she said, he pulled alongside them and started shooting at them.
"We were very scared," Kimberly said. "Our 10-year-old son was in the car, and we were yelling at him to get on the floor."
Nobody in Kimberly's family was injured.
The incident finally came to an end when her husband exited the highway and drove toward a police officer parked at Perry's Steakhouse at Town Square Place. Kimberly's husband told police he believed the Lexus driver also exited the freeway but sped off when he approached the officer.
"He put a lot of innocent people at risk that were on the freeway that day, and he should have considered what if it was his family, or his mother, sister or brother?" Kimberly said.
The driver of the older model Lexus, possibly a 2007 or 2008, is described as a light-skinned black man in his early 20s. They believe another person was sitting in the passenger seat.
Anyone with information should call the Sugar Land Police Department at 281-275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS (8477).
