Former NFL star Joe McKnight was shot dead in an apparent road rage incident in the New Orleans suburb of Terrytown on Thursday. His alleged shooter Ronald Gasser was arrested by Jefferson Parish law enforcement at the scene only to be released just hours later with no charges filed. In a press conference the next day, claims that Gasser stood over McKnight after shooting him were shot down. However, a witness to the shooting is claiming otherwise.
TMZ posted a picture taken by a witness who was at the scene when Joe McKnight was allegedly shot by Ronald Gasser on Thursday. The picture shows Gasser outside of his vehicle already, allegedly having shot at McKnight who was still in his car. McKnight’s car door is open and it looks like the former NFL star was falling out of the car at the time the photo was taken. According to the person who took the photo, Gasser’s gun can be seen resting on the trunk of his Infiniti.

It turns out Ronald Gasser has a history of road rage and even had an incident at the very same intersection where he allegedly shot Joe McKnight. According to the New York Times, back in 2006 Gasser was accused of chasing down another man on the same stretch of road before ending up at the same intersection. Once stopped, Gasser reportedly punched the other man several times before getting back in his car and driving away. The other man then called 911 to report the altercation to police.
