An investigation revealed that 19-year-old Justin Lee Chambers of Georgetown had been driving a 2009 Toyota Camry when he struck a Volkswagen Passat in the rear, causing minor damage, says WCSO. Chambers immediately left the scene without giving information to the other driver.

The driver, identified by WCSO as 22-year-old Esteban Rivera of Killeen, then chased Chambers into the Sendero Springs neighborhood. Both drivers then ended up shooting at each other numerous times. No one was hit, but one house did sustain damage from gunfire.

Rivera was arrested on April 15 by WCSO detectives and charged with state-jail felony child endangerment as Rivera had his small children with him in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.
