SURPRISE, AZ — A man has died after a road rage shooting near 163rd and Grand avenues Saturday afternoon in Surprise.
Surprise police say several people called 911 after a 33-year-old man was shot multiple times in what was described as a road rage situation.
That man was taken to the hospital and did not survive.
Surprise police identified the victim Sunday morning as James Solano-Aguilar.
He was an active military member, according to police. It's not clear what branch of the military he was serving with.
The suspect, 18-year-old Jaidev Spicely, fled the area after the shooting.
Police say while stopped at the intersection, Solano-Aguilar got out of his vehicle and approached the driver's side door of Spicely's vehicle. Spicely then allegedly shot Solano-Aguilar four times before speeding away at a high rate of speed. Police believe Solano-Aguilar was unarmed when he was approaching Spicely's vehicle.
Police say as they were on their way to arrest the teenage suspect, Spicely called police asking to turn himself in.
He was taken into custody without incident.
Details on why Solano-Aguilar approached Spicely's vehicle are unknown.
163rd Avenue was closed in the area for several hours but has since reopened.
