Man arrested after road rage related shooting

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was arrested in connection to a road rage incident that led to shots fired earlier this month, according to the Memphis Police Department.

Serjio Rivas-Rodriguez, 24, is charged with Criminal Attempt Felony Second-Degree Murder, Employment of a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony, and Reckless Endangerment by discharging a Firearm from within a Motor Vehicle.

On October 4, officers responded to a shooting call at Mount Moriah and Sea Isle, where the victim told police he was shot at after being involved in a road rage incident with the driver of a black Ford with red rear panels.

The victim claimed the driver of the Ford tried to cut him off in traffic but was unable to.

He said the driver followed him down Mendenhall, past Poplar Avenue, and onto Mount Moriah Road. The victim told police that when the Ford turned westbound onto Hampshire Avenue, the driver rolled his window down and fired between four and five shots at him.

He identified Serjio Rivas-Rodriguez in a six-person photo lineup as the man responsible for the shooting.

Rivas-Rodriguez is being held on a $150,000 bond.

He is scheduled to appear back in court on Friday morning for a bail review hearing.
