Robert Price Chase, 31, has been charged with second-degree murder in a road rage shooting near Leadville, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday.
The victim was identified as Landon Lavelle Mentink, 40. Both men are from Leadville.
"Investigators believe the two men were involved in an apparent road rage incident that escalated to violence, when Chase allegedly shot the victim during the altercation" on Highway 24 on Tuesday night, CBI said.
Chase was held at the Lake County jail. Bond was set at $100,000.
In a seemingly similar incident, a motorist was shot and killed Tuesday in Parker by another motorist who fled the scene. Police located a suspect about two hours later.
