The Latest: Reward in road rage killing rises to $25,000

Updated 4:09 pm, Wednesday, October 21, 2015

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The latest on the road rage killing of a 4-year-old girl on a New Mexico freeway (all times local):

3:05 p.m.

Reward money for tips leading to an arrest in a road rage shooting that killed a 4-year-old Albuquerque girl has grown to $25,000.

Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden announced at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that the City Council has authorized a $10,000 reward. That's on top of $5,000 the FBI is offering as the agency opens its own investigation and $10,000 from Mayor Richard Berry's office announced earlier in the day.

Eden says officers are looking for a suspect in his mid-20s or early 30s who was driving a maroon or dark red Toyota sedan with a University of New Mexico license plate when he opened fire Tuesday on Interstate 40.

One advantage of registration, ballistic fingerprinting, etc., the gunners will oppose and tell Hoyt Oct 2015 #3

The reason ballistic fingerprinting hasn't lead to many arrests is just material science. NutmegYankee Oct 2015 #4

Lots of gun fanciers don't shoot their carriers that often. But, usual gun fancier objection. Hoyt Oct 2015 #5

From same link as above:

Albuquerque police say they have detained a person of interest as they investigate the road rage shooting death of a 4-year-old girl on a freeway.

Police announced that the individual was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon and that they would provide more information later on the break in the case.

The announcement came a day after a 4-year-old girl was shot in what police are describing as a road rage attack. She was killed as her father drove her and a 7-year-old brother home from school Tuesday.

us why it's not effective, too costly, and might lead to one of them being caught when they pull a Zimmerman or something.

After a few years the barrel no longer imparts the same marks. The barrels and other mechanical parts suffer wear, erosion, and corrosion over time which changes the fingerprint as metal is lost. Manufacturers sell replacement barrels because this is a common issue.

The only thing ballistic fingerprinting is useful for is recent shots because the barrel hasn't had time to erode.
