LILBURN, Ga. — One person is dead and another is wounded after tensions escalated in what police are calling a road rage shooting in Gwinnett County on Sunday afternoon.
Police said the shooting happened just after noon at the entrance of the Durham Ridge subdivision in Lilburn. The neighborhood is at the intersection of Harbins Road NW and Dickens Road NW.
An 18-year-old, identified as Luis Cruz, was arrested by Lilburn Police and was charged with murder and aggravated assault. Lilburn Police said that two vehicles were involved in the incident.
Lilburn Police Capt. Scott Bennett spoke with 11Alive after the shooting and he said that one of the people in the second car involved was returning the gunfire, but both of those people inside that car were shot -- one dead and one wounded.
"These types of things cannot be solved with gunfire and violence," Capt. Bennett said. "They need to be solved through other peaceful means and this sort of thing unfortunately is happening more and more often and today it touched the citizens of Lilburn."
It's unsure what led up to the road rage incident but police said the investigation remains active at this time.
