Carrboro police arrest man in road-rage shooting that started with an argument
Carrboro police arrested a man Monday in connection with a road-rage shooting last month.
The shooting was reported near Jones Ferry and Davie roads around 6:53 p.m. July 18. Investigators learned that an argument had broken out between people in two cars, leading to the shooting from one car into the other, a news release stated.
No injuries were reported, police said at the time.
Gregory Elijah Wilson Sr., 40, was charged Monday with two felony counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property, felony possession of a firearm by a felon, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and discharging a firearm within the city limits.
Wilson is being held in the Orange County jail on $5,000 bail, and more charges are expected, police said in a news release.
Wilson was released from prison in December 2021 for a 2014 shooting in Durham, police said.
