Police in Houston, Texas, have charged a 23-year-old Uber driver with murder in the death of the Rev. Ronald K. Mouton who was killed in a road rage shooting.
The Uber driver, identified as Deshawn Longmire, was charged with murder on Friday and is being held in Harris County Jail on a $500,000 bond, according to the Harris County District Clerk’s Office.
Mouton, who served as the pastor of East Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, was shot and killed on the Gulf Freeway at Gould Road on June 24.
Longmire, who was driving for Uber in his black Honda sedan, was seen by a witness at a stoplight on the Gulf Freeway arguing with the 58-year-old pastor who was in his white BMW. When both started moving, Longmire “stretched his arm out of the driver window with a pistol in his hand” and allegedly shot Mouton and took off, according to witness accounts, Click 2 Houston reported.

You know, it could have been an argument that led to a fast draw, e.g. both yelling “I’ll kill you and both scrambling for their guns. In the old days it was a simple matter of getting it out of the holster standing toe to toe but the Reverend probably had to get it out of his brief case and maybe it got far enough that the 23 year old was yelling for the Rev. to put it down, he didn’t and it is a clear cut case of self defense. Just saying.
Th item says here is a video of the perp holding his arm out of his window with a pistol in his hand as the pastor was driving away. No quickdraw situation.
He’s gonna lose his Uber license for carrying a gun. Oh.....and he should be hanged.
