On November 12, 2024, at approximately 11:44 a.m., troopers responded to the area of Springfield Road and Gravel Hill Road in Georgetown for a report of a road rage incident involving a gun. The investigation revealed that a Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 37-year-old victim, was traveling westbound on Johnson Road, approaching the intersection at Gravel Hill Road.

At the same time, the victim entered the intersection, another Chevrolet Silverado, driven by an unknown white male suspect, also entered the intersection from eastbound Springfield Road. After a near collision at the intersection, the suspect's Silverado proceeded to travel southbound behind the victim on Gravel Hill Road.
