Sterlin Harrison Charged In Alleged Road Rage Shooting Along I-95 In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 23-year-old Baltimore man was arrested and charged Monday in an alleged road rage shooting on Interstate 95 last month.

Maryland Transportation Authority Police officers responded to a report of a shooting on southbound I-95 south of the Fort McHenry Tunnel around 7:50 p.m. on September 12. The victim, who was driving a Saturn sedan, told police that the driver for a silver Acura began to tailgate her near the toll plaza. She said the Acura driver then followed her through the tunnel and pulled up next to her. That's when he lowered his passenger side window and pulled out a black handgun and fired at her car.

Neither the victim nor her car were struck.
