An 18-year-old has been arrested more than four months after allegedly shooting a Cobb County college student in a road-rage attack, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Neil Seiz, 23, of Acworth, was shot in the face Sept. 22 while on the way home from a Braves game, the news station reported at the time. He suffered serious injuries.
Police said they arrested Jaelin Quarles over the weekend in connection with the shooting.

Officials said Quarles, who was driving a green pickup truck pulling a landscape trailer, cut Seiz off at the I-575 exit ramp near Bells Ferry Road. The two drivers argued for about two miles before Quarles allegedly pulled out a gun and fired twice, Channel 2 reported.
Police said they sifted through surveillance video and identified Quarles thanks to his distinct landscaping trailer. They also found that he was being held in the Clayton County jail on unrelated charges.
An arrest warrant stated that the shooting “seriously disfigured Neil Seiz’s face” and that he couldn’t use his neck and jaw for months, according to Channel 2.
