CUDAHY, Wis. - Anger on the roads. We now have video which is shining light on an apparent weekend road rage shooting in Cudahy – and police have made an arrest.
Police tracked down a Greenfield man and used a search warrant to take him it. It followed a road rage shooting that left a man dead.
Surveillance video from a business captured a black SUV and a red SUV driving side-by-side Saturday night, Feb. 24.
Neighbors tell FOX6 News the SUVs stopped off camera. Seconds later, the angle shows the black SUV back up and pull away. There is someone on the ground – and a person calling for help.
"I heard the screaming and I looked out my window and that’s when I saw the altercation," said one witness.
Durin that altercation, a witness who did not show her face for safety concerns, said a man in the red SUV got out of his vehicle. The witness said someone in the black SUV shot him.
"That’s when I noticed the victim got out and he was approaching the other vehicle. Once he approached the vehicle that’s when he was shot," the witness said.

"It’s so unnecessary. The anger everyone is representing nowadays is not OK," said a witness.
"If it can happen here, anywhere. And that leaves you a little uneasy. You sure have to keep right, I suppose," Samp said.

It is unclear what prompted the road rage or was said between the two men before the deadly gunfire happened. That will likely come out when the man in custody is officially charged.
