A Highland family is demanding justice after their beloved grandfather was fatally shot during a road rage incident last week, where witnesses say he was simply trying to apologize for a crash he caused.
The shooting happened on Monday outside of the Walmart near the border of Highland and San Bernardino, where 57-year-old Jonathan Mauk was shot and killed over the fender bender in the parking lot.
“There’s no actual body damage, there’s a scratch in the paint,” said Matthew Mauk, the victim’s son. “That’s the extent of the damage that he lost his life over.”
He says that his father was driving his Chevrolet Camaro through the parking lot while heading to pick up salt and some soda on Monday, when he accidentally bumped another driver trying to back out of their parking space.
“The witnesses said that he got out and started apologizing, said he was responsible,” Mauk said. “The person in the other vehicle pulled a gun and shot my father in the face.”
