He was making a turn when he and another driver exchanged words, “which led to the victim being shot and wrecking his vehicle into a vacant home,” police said.
The man, whose identity was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities. Investigators with the homicide unit responded to the scene, police said.
