Armed man shot and killed by driver during road rage confrontation - Indianapolis, Indiana
Uploaded On:Thursday 18th of July 2024

Harrowing footage captured an armed man being shot dead in Indianapolis as he yelled at a driver in a suspected road rage incident.

The footage shared on social media allegedly shows the moment Gavin Dasaur, 29, quickly approaches a white Chevy pickup truck on Tuesday evening and attempts to punch the driver while holding what appears to be a handgun.

The driver tries to smack the punch away, with Dasaur shifting the weapon to his left hand as he appears to berate the driver while pointing at them repeatedly with his right hand. The driver then points their own gun at Dasaur, firing repeatedly as the 29-year-old falls to the ground.

The seven-second video capturing the chaos ends with the person filming the exchange taking cover in their own car.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting broke out at around 8:15 p.m. near the intersection of South Emerson Avenue and Thompson Road.

Witnesses told police that the shooting occurred over a road rage incident between the Chevy driver and Dasaur, who was driving a black Honda.

The driver of the pickup truck was initially detained but later released after investigators found that the driver may have been acting in self-defense.

Cinthya ZaMora, Dasaur’s wife, condemned the shooting as she grieved her husband’s death.

“He was a hardworking man that always went out of his way to help anyone and wanted to give the world to me and his family,” she told the local outlet.

“He did not deserve to die this way. It’s such a tragedy that my husband was murdered in cold blood,” she said, but it remained unclear if she had seen the video of the shooting.

The IMPD said the investigation over the shooting and alleged road rage incident remains ongoing.
