A man has been killed in a road rage incident after exiting I-75.

Kentucky State Police said troopers responded Saturday night at approximately 7:05 to the shooting in Carroll County. The preliminary investigation shows two vehicles exited I-71 at exit 43 in Carroll County.

“One of the drivers involved in the incident was speaking with dispatch at that time. The caller advised that the other driver was displaying a firearm,” state police said.

After the vehicles exited the interstate, state police said both traveled on KY 389 “before the incident escalated to the point of gunfire.”

The driver of one of the vehicles, Daniel Shouse, of Carrollton, was fatally shot by the driver of the other vehicle. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Carroll County Coroner’s Office.

The investigation is ongoing.
