Man dies in road rage shooting on NYC's George Washington Bridge
Police say the victim was shot during a road-rage dispute, and investigators are reviewing surveillance video and ballistics as no arrests were announced.
- On Tuesday, Koran Irvine, a 46-year-old Con Edison worker, was fatally shot on the New Jersey-bound upper level of the George Washington Bridge during what police describe as a road rage dispute.
- Investigators suspect the shooting began after Irvine's Blue Volkswagen Golf nearly collided with a black Range Rover, prompting the suspect to fire a shot through the rear window.
- Medics rushed Irvine to Englewood Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; his family described the 46-year-old as a devoted husband and father who lived for his family "100%," and a passionate New York Jets fan.
- Less than 24 hours after the shooting, a person of interest surrendered to police on Wednesday and is currently held at the 33rd Precinct stationhouse with charges pending.
- The George Washington Bridge carries around 100 million vehicles annually between New Jersey and Manhattan, and Port Authority officials reported delays of up to 90 minutes during the investigation Tuesday night.
