Person of Interest in Highway Shooting Released

(Lowell, IN) - A man held in connection with a possible road rage shooting this past Wednesday on Interstate 80/94 has been released.

 

According to Indiana State Police, the individual was arrested on suspicion of breaking the law in the killing, pending the outcome of the investigation.

 

Typically, a 48-hour hold is placed on individuals, who must be released if sufficient evidence wasn't developed to charge them during that time period.

 

Per the ISP, a single-vehicle crash occurred at about 4 a.m. in the westbound lanes at Lake Station around the time they received a call from a man claiming to have been involved in a road rage incident. Troopers responded to the crash and reportedly found the driver dead from a gunshot wound. The caller, located on Interstate 65 about two miles south of Interstate 80/94, was reportedly questioned about what led up to the confrontation before being taken into custody when investigators determined that they were linked to the crash.

 

Regarding further information, the ISP says that no further details, so far, can be released in the case which remains under investigation.
