A truck driver has been arrested on murder charges in connection with a suspected road rage shooting in Virginia late last month.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, February 13, Florida-based truck driver Tony Ray Williams, 55, was arrested by the Fort Pierce Police Department\u00a0out of Florida on charges of Second Degree Murder and Use of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony.<\/p>\n
The charges were issued in connection with the death of Massachusetts-based truck driver Silvio Sobrinho, 58<\/a>.<\/p>\n Around 11:30 p.m. on January 31, police responded to southbound I-295 at mile marker 25 in Henrico County, Virginia, and discovered Sobrinho dead in the cab of his truck from a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n Troopers believe that Sobrinho was driving a tractor trailer hauling a load of cars in the left lane of southbound I-295 when his vehicle was struck by a second semi truck traveling in the center lane, forcing Sobrinho\u2019s truck off the road and into a guardrail.<\/p>\n After Sobrinho\u2019s truck came to a stop against the guardrail, Virginia State Police said that the driver of the second semi truck pulled up alongside him and fired multiple rounds into the crashed truck.<\/p>\n A witness traveling north pulled off, found Sobrinho in the cab laying over the steering wheel, and called police. A trooper performed CPR but Sobrinho was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n The fatal shooting remains under investigation.<\/p>\n If you have information, you\u2019re asked to call the\u00a0Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 804-750-8758, #77 from a cell phone, or email\u00a0[email\u00a0protected]<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
