Isel Valenzuela describes the aftermath of a road rage shooting Friday afternoon that ended with the death of 19-year-old JaDerek Gray.
"I saw a motorcycle. A green motorcycle speed pass me up between me and the next car. Maybe 10-15 seconds later, I hear four gunshots," he recalled. "I look over and I see him laying there. With blood all on his chest and his stomach."
Valenzuela parked and ran over to help, noticing a green motorcycle parked on the freeway with the kickstand down about 30 feet behind Gray.
"I turned off the bike because it was still running," he said.
Immediately, Valenzuela started putting pressure on the young man’s wounds. Minutes later, firefighters and paramedics arrived.
Gray was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
After investigating, Fort Worth police say Gray caused the shooting that killed him. Police say he was traveling in between lanes, which is illegal in the state of Texas.
The driver of an SUV didn’t see him when trying to change lanes. Police say Gray then sped up ahead of the SUV driver, stopped the motorcycle in the middle of the highway and stopped traffic. He then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the driver of the SUV.
"The driver of the SUV asked him to please put the gun down," said Fort Worth Officer Tracy Carter.
That’s when police say the SUV driver, who said he had children in the car with him, pulled out his own gun and shot Gray.
Officer Tracy Carter says investigators believe Gray also fired his weapon but did not hit anyone.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner said Gray died from Multiple gunshot wounds.
Valenzuela is still trying to process what he saw.
"At the end of the day, he’s still a human being. I would have done it for anybody," he said. "I don’t know how it went down, but it’s something that at the end of the day could have been avoided and they both could have made it home."https://www.fox4news.com/news/fort-wort ... lf-defense
Nobody thinks everybody can't hit their target under pressure. Some obviously can
And even for those who can't consider that I can barely see a treble 20 on a dartboard from the oche and I'm incredibly uncoordinated so you'd be right to say the odds against me scoring two treble twenties are astronomical, but I've done it.
Anecdotes aren't reliable evidence.
Somebody is trying to pass off a false dichotomy and missing nuance which makes him a fucking hypocrite.
