A routine traffic stop at a light escalated into a deadly road rage shooting in Aurora. Phillip Hunt, 54, was stopped with his wife Donna in their Jeep Grand Cherokee at East Iliff Avenue and South Chambers Road when a 19-year-old driver behind them honked. After Hunt accelerated slowly, the other driver, identified as Romeo Desean Thompson, sped around their vehicle and threw a bottle. Hunt then pursued Thompson; both vehicles stopped near East Yale Avenue and East Brown Drive, and a verbal argument turned physical.

Donna Hunt says she saw Thompson strike her husband with a black handgun and then heard two or three shots. Hunt suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen, was taken to a hospital, and later died. Donna photographed Thompson’s vehicle and plate; a nearby doorbell camera also recorded the shooting. Thompson was arrested later the same day and, according to an affidavit, admitted firing after Hunt was on the ground and after a struggle over Thompson’s phone. Does anyone have additional information about the sequence of events or witnessed the chase?
