Dashboard Camera Video Shows Man Shooting Out Window In Miami Road Rage Incident

Video footage shows a driver taking out his gun and shooting at another driver in the middle of Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade County.

NBC 6 collected the dashcam footage Friday from Popper’s attorney, Robert Gershman, who verified the video is from the incident.

According to NbcMiami, Both drivers shot at each other, and both cars were hit but neither driver was wounded, FHP officials said at the time.

Both drivers were able to puller over on the side of the road shortly after the shooting and contact authorities. 

“I was just shot at. My car was hit,” Popper is heard shouting in another dashcam video filmed at another angle. “I returned fire back at the individual.”

But according to a police report, the other driver alleged he didn’t have a gun and tossed a water bottle at Popper’s car. Popper’s attorney argues Popper was protecting himself.

“You hear a bang on Mr. Popper’s car, akin to a gunshot, which precipitated the whole incident, so in this matter, the audio and video evidence we believe exonerates him,” Gershman said.

Photos presented to law enforcement did show both cars being hit with bullets. 

Popper later turned himself in and then bonded out. He was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting/throwing a fatal missile.
