New York City police are searching for an unidentified gunman who is wanted in connection with a fatal shooting on the George Washington Bridge. The incident occurred late Tuesday night, resulting in the death of a 46-year-old off-duty Con Edison worker. According to law enforcement sources, the victim was driving a blue Volkswagen Golf when he became involved in a dispute with another driver on an entrance ramp to the bridge. Video footage captured the victim’s vehicle nearly crashing into the other car before the suspect fired a shot through the rear passenger window. The bullet struck the driver’s seat headrest before penetrating the victim’s shoulder. The victim’s car subsequently struck a median, bringing it to a halt, while the suspect fled the scene. Authorities believe the shooting was motivated by road rage. The incident caused a complete shutdown of the George Washington Bridge for several hours, with all lanes reopening around 1 a.m. Wednesday. Investigators have been canvassing the area for ballistics evidence and reviewing surveillance footage to identify the suspect and the vehicle involved. The NYPD has not yet released a physical description of the gunman. The identity of the deceased worker has been withheld as police work to notify his family. Con Edison issued a statement expressing heartbreak over the loss of a colleague, describing the event as a senseless act of violence. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the suspect or the other vehicle involved to come forward. The suspect remains at large as of Wednesday morning.
