The victim told troopers that his vehicle was shot at multiple times during an apparent road rage incident. MSP’s Forensic Sciences Division processed the victim’s vehicle and reportedly recovered a projectile.
Investigators identified Fredy Gonzalez-Esquivel as the suspect. A search warrant was served on his vehicle in Virginia, where police found seven spent casings and seized a firearm. The driver’s side mirror of the Gonzalez-Esquivel’s black Mitsubishi Outlander also had damage police described as “consistent with a projectile fired from the driver’s seat.”
Leesburg Police arrested Gonzalez-Esquivel the morning after the incident.
He will be extradited to face firearms-related offenses, as well as charges of felony assault, using a firearm during a felony crime, malicious destruction of property, and two counts of second-degree murder.
In addition to the driver, there was a passenger in the car that was allegedly shot at. Neither person was injured, police reported.
