Shaun Haleem Williams, 31, of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of aggravated assault in connection with a road rage incident along Route 309 in Upper Dublin Township in April 2024, Mainline Media News reported.
According to the report, Williams fired a handgun at another driver’s vehicle near Route 309’s I-276 exit ramp on the morning of April 5. The male victim, who was unharmed, told police he was traveling southbound in the left lane of Route 309 when he was “tailgated” by a dark gray hatchback-style vehicle whose operator then changed lanes to the right and pulled adjacent to the victim’s truck, according to the arrest affidavit.
The driver, later identified as Williams, “brandished a black in color semiautomatic pistol out of the driver’s window and pointed it at the victim,” police alleged.
The victim said that he pulled into a parking lot just off Route 309 in Cheltenham Township after the shooting to wait for police to arrive. Officers noted a single bullet hole in the passenger side of the victim’s vehicle.
Williams faces a possible maximum sentence of 11.5 to 23 months in prison, Mainline Media said.
