An 11-year-old Nevada boy on his way to school Friday morning was fatally shot in a road-rage incident over position on a congested Las Vegas-area freeway, authorities said.

Tyler Matthew Johns, 22, was arrested at the scene of the shooting on charges of open murder and discharging a firearm at a vehicle, Henderson police said.

Authorities said the shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. on Interstate 215 westbound in Henderson, a city adjacent to Las Vegas to the southeast.

The two drivers “became involved in a road-rage incident when they began jockeying for positions, trying to pass each other on the congested freeway,” Rader said.

One car passed the other on the shoulder of the freeway, known as the Las Vegas Beltway, he said, and both drivers got into an argument through their rolled down windows.

One driver tried to pass another on the shoulder of the freeway before they both rolled down their windows and had a "heated exchange," Rader said. During that altercation, Rader says the suspect pulled out a firearm and fired one shot into the other car, hitting an 11-year-old sitting in the back seat.

The child's stepfather then rammed the other car, and both vehicles came to a stop on the freeway, Rader said. Both drivers got out and continued to fight before a witness flagged down a passing Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer, who took the suspect into custody.

Despite the efforts of Henderson Fire Department first responders and medical staff at University Medical Center, the child died from his injuries, the police chief added.
