The Clark County coroner’s office identified the man fatally shot after a road rage incident Thursday night near the Strip.

Todd Szymanski, 25, died of gunshot wounds, the coroner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide.

Las Vegas police have said that Szymanski got out of his car at a red light near Russell Road and Interstate 15 and approached the driver of another vehicle. He pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the other driver, who shot him.

One driver had apparently cut off the other on the interstate, and police believe the driver shot Szymanski in self-defense.
