The backstory:

The road rage incident was reported on July 6 on Kuykundahl Road.

According to court documents, a 17-year-old boy was driving with a 17-year-old girl in his passenger seat when he saw Calicut’s vehicle pull up behind him.

The teen alleged that Calicut drove around in front of him and then hit his brakes, forcing the teen to also brake to avoid crashing into Calicut’s car.

The teen drove around Calicut’s car and tried to get away, but Calicut pulled up next to him again, court documents allege. Calicut was allegedly driving erratically in front of and alongside the teen, and the teen saw Phillip in Calicut’s car with a handgun pointed toward him.

The teen was able to make a U-turn and drive away from Calicut’s car, but then he heard several gunshots, according to court documents. A friend driving behind the teen reported that he saw Phillip shooting out of the window as they drove away, according to court documents.

What they're saying:

The 17-year-old boy says he knows Calicut and Phillip from school, and that Calicut had been threatening him at school and over Facetime calls for several months, according to court documents.
