Police Looking for Man Who Fired Gun at Fellow Motorist in Wauwatosa Road Rage Incident

WAUWATOSA, WI -- Police are looking for the shooter after a case of road rage between two drivers after one of the drivers rolled down their window, smiled, deployed a handgun and pulled the trigger.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County, the gun-wielding driver, Prince Anthony Underwood, Jr. has been charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety - use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The Incident

On the morning of Friday, December 16, the drivers of two vehicles were transporting friends to work in the Mayfair Mall area.

A Wauwatosa man was taking his girlfriend to work. Underwood, of Milwaukee, was also taking his girlfriend to work in the area along with a third occupant in the vehicle.

According to the criminal complaint, as the Wauwatosa man was driving his girlfriend to work, a vehicle driven by Underwood pulled in front of him and cut him off as they headed easbound on Burleigh Street. The Wauwatosa man responded by honking his horn and "flipping him off."

Both the Wauwatosa man and Underwood turned right onto Mayfair road heading southbound. At that point, the Wauwatosa man passed Underwood's vehicle, only to have Underwood catch up, the complaint said.

As both vehicles approached the Dollar Tree store, the Wauwatosa man saw the driver's side window of Underwood's vehicle roll down, only to reveal Underwood smile and point a handgun at him, the complaint said.

Upon seeing Underwood pointing the gun, he slammed on his brakes and then heard what he believed to be a gunshot. Nobody was reported injured, as the gunshot did not strike the car or any of its occupants, the complaint indicated.

The Wauwatosa man's girlfriend snapped several photos of Underwood's car as it sped off, weaving through traffic as it sped away, police said.
