Phoenix police say driver killed man for 'looking at him' at red light
FOX NEWS - A man was killed in March after he “looked over” at another driver at a red light, police in Arizona revealed, saying the suspected killer was arrested this past week.
“Pulling up next to another car and looking over at the driver may seem like a common occurrence, but it now appears to be the motive behind a violent murder,” police said Friday in a news release.
Police made that statement in announcing the arrest Thursday of Nicolas Elliott, 30, on a charge of murder in the March 1 death of 26-year-old Alex Mixon at a Phoenix intersection.
“Investigators believe Elliott shot Mixon for simply looking at him while stopped at a red traffic light,” police said in the news release.
Mixon was found dead when police responded to a report of a car crash.
His car clipped a power pole and ran into a wall, police said.
“As police investigated, they discovered Mixon had been shot,” according to the news release.
