Authorities were able to obtain surveillance video from a FedEx truck traveling in the area at the time of the crash, showing it was a road rage incident.

According to the arrest report, the video showed the Audi passing the FedEx truck in the left lane. A few seconds later, a white SUV, appearing to be a Jeep Renegade, sped past the truck. The Jeep quickly crossed the road and ended up on the left side of the Audi. The Audi then swerved to the right, then to the left, back to the right and then to the left, colliding with the median. The Jeep appeared to move to the left shoulder and flee the area.

During the investigation, 18-year-old Damarion Bell and 23-year-old Jasahn Lovette were considered suspects. The investigation also revealed that the Jeep had been reported stolen at the time of the incident.

Bell and Lovette now face multiple criminal charges, including open murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, possession of a stolen vehicle and more.
