A road rage confrontation on Interstate 71 ended in the fatal shooting of 63-year-old Daniel Shouse of Carrollton on the evening of June 8, 2024. According to investigators, the dispute continued after both vehicles exited onto KY 389 in Carroll County. During the incident, the other driver called police to report that Shouse was brandishing a firearm.

Shouse reportedly made a U-turn and drove back toward the other vehicle, at which point the other driver fired and struck him. Shouse was pronounced dead at the scene by the Carroll County coroner. Investigators say Shouse was in possession of a gun when the shooting occurred; the shooter remained at the scene, cooperated with the Kentucky State Police, and cited self-defense. A grand jury declined to file charges and the Commonwealth’s Attorney announced no charges would be pursued; the investigation is listed as closed.

If anyone witnessed the exchange on I-71 or KY 389 that evening, or has dashcam or surveillance footage, can you share what you saw?
