‘Until the count of 3’: Road rage suspect follows through on threat to shoot man during confrontation, cops say

A road rage confrontation in Georgia led to a shooting after a suspect allegedly made good on his promise to open fire on the victim after counting to three.

Josue Colon Matos, 30, faces charges of aggravated assault , possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and reckless driving. He sits in the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.

Local ABC affiliate WSB obtained body camera footage and showed a copy of the arrest affidavit that detailed the Dec. 23 incident in Duluth, some 30 miles northeast of Atlanta. Officers with the Duluth Police Department responded to a call around 8 p.m. about a person shot in the 3800 block of Pleasant Hill Road. An officer arrived to find the victim suffering from an “obvious gunshot wound to the left foot.”
