Seven months after a 33-year-old man was shot and killed at a Tesla Supercharger station in Colorado, police in Edgewater have made an arrest in the case.
Jeremy Alan Smith, 39, of Denver, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of killing Adam Fresquez after an apparent road rage-fuelled confrontation.
The shooting happened on May 3 at the Edgewater Public Market in the 5500 block of West 20th Avenue. Authorities said both men were driving Teslas and that surveillance video showed both vehicles pulling up to the charging station at about the same time. Smith then allegedly approached Fresquez, who was walking towards his vehicle, and shot him twice in the back.
According to a press release from the Edgewater Police Department, Smith called 911 after getting out of his car and driving away. He allegedly confessed to shooting Fresquez after Fresquez pointed a gun at him.
Smith is scheduled to make his first appearance in Jefferson County Court on Wednesday morning on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
