An 18-year-old man is being held without bail and charged with murder after admitting to shooting and killing another man in a fit of road rage.
Jonathan Mejia of Illinois allegedly killed Scott Mattison, a 46-year-old father of two, after the pair got into an altercation on Sunday.
In footage of the incident, filmed by an anonymous source parked behind Mejia's car, Mattison is seen standing outside the driver-side window. At one point, Mattison reached into the car before he was shot multiple times. The video captured Mejia's license plate, allowing police to identify him.Mejia reportedly drove around Mattison's truck as he backed into a driveway. Mattison shifted into drive and ran Mejia off to the side of the road.
Immediately following the shooting, police reported Mejia drove himself to the Streamwood Police Department to turn himself in. He allegedly admitted to being the shooter and possessing a gun he shouldn't have had. Mejia was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to police.Judge Jill C. Marisie of the Third Municipal District ruled Wednesday that Mejia be held without bail as he awaits trial.
Mejia was previously convicted of aggravated discharge of a firearm and served over a year in juvenile detention in 2021, according to court records.
