According to the court paperwork filed Thursday, criminal homicide charges have been filed against Joel Ingram, 41, in connection with the deadly shooting.

The criminal complaint details an alleged road rage incident that led to the deadly shooting. Police said that a witness told them that Ingram opened fire from another vehicle after yelling at the victim's SUV to "move up" while sitting at a traffic light. 

Investigators say the deadly encounter began at West Carson and Corliss streets, then continued through the Corliss Tunnel before ending near Chartiers Avenue and Municipal Street. Ingram is accused of pulling alongside Faulk's SUV and firing two shots.

Less than an hour after the shooting occurred, Ingram was taken into custody by detectives in Pittsburgh's Perry South neighborhood, police said. Court documents say surveillance footage, witness statements and license plate readers helped connect Ingram to the shooting.

Ingram is facing one count of criminal homicide and one count of carrying a firearm without a license, according to court records.
