What we know:
Calicut is charged in connection with a road rage shooting that occurred on July 6 on Kuykendahl 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.

Calicut recently committed to the University of Georgia to play football. He was a four-star recruit.
