A man was killed in what Savannah police are calling a "road rage" incident early Sunday morning.
Police were called to the intersection of Bull and Broughton streets and found a 32-year-old man dead at the scene, Savannah police Sgt. Jason Pagliaro said in a news release.
Another woman, 30, at the scene was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, Pagliaro said. The shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. and stemmed from a verbal altercation which escalated.
Details on how the man was killed were not revealed nor were details on if the victims were inside a car at the time of the incident, with Pagliaro telling the Savannah Morning News those details are part of "an active investigation."
"Detectives continue to conduct interviews and are analyzing evidence gathered at the scene," Pagliaro said in the news release.
Sunday morning's homicide comes on the heels of the killing of a 15-year-old girl at Yamacraw Village in a late-night shooting Friday.
In that incident, Savannah police responded to a call of a person injured in a fight. The girl was found suffering from serious injuries and was taken to the hospital where she later died of her injuries.
