Sentencing Tuesday for man who killed youth baseball coach Jay Boughton

Family reacts after Jamal Smith found guilty of murder in fatal Hwy 169 shooting

MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minnesota man is about to learn his fate for murdering a father in a fit of road rage.

Jay Boughton was killed in the summer of 2021. The youth baseball coach was driving on Highway 169 in Plymouth with his 16-year-old son.

His son says Boughton honked and gestured at another driver, then bullets flew into their car, and they crashed.
