    Timothy Davison (28) shot and killed in road rage incident

    A Maine resident apparently eluded an enraged motorist for up to 15 miles and called 911 multiple times before being run off the road and shot to death in Pennsylvania, police said Friday.

    The victim, Timothy Davison, 28, was driving home about 2 a.m. Saturday on Interstate 81 in Antrim Township when he was shot multiple times and killed, Pennsylvania State Police Capt. Steven Junkin said at a news conference Friday. The shooting appears to be unprovoked.

    Davison may have first encountered the shooter on Interstate 70 in Maryland and traveled between 13 and 15 miles, with the gunman in pursuit, before being forced off the road just beyond the Pennsylvania state line. Junkin said Davison called 911 from Maryland and Pennsylvania, but he declined to provide details about those calls.

    A task force made up of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia state police, as well as the FBI, is seeking help from the public and operators of body shops in finding a "dark colored" Ford Ranger XLT pickup with damage on the driver's side from ramming into Davison's car.

    "How concerned are we that it'll happen again?" Junkin asked. "We obviously have an individual out there who was so incensed that he continued to pursue Mr. Davison and took it to that next step. He murdered an individual for whatever slight that he perceived. Will this person do it again? We don't know. We don't want to take that chance."

    Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-472-8477.

    Investigators initially believed the same motorist may have been behind another road rage shooting eight hours earlier and 56 miles northeast, but Junkin said Friday that the two crimes do not appear to be related.

    James Allocca, Davison's uncle, told CNN this week that the family "wants justice before someone else gets hurt."

    The victim's father, Timothy Davison Sr., said he learned about his son's death when police arrived at his door Saturday.

    "I can't begin to tell you what it's like to hear that," he said. "It's not right."

    He went to Pennsylvania on Tuesday to collect his son's personal belongings.

    His son, he said, was a "great guy and a very easy kid to raise."

    "He cared for everyone around him," he said. "He was a rugged kid, extremely sensitive."

    Davison worked at his father's construction business.

    He said he hoped to meet his son's killer. Asked what he would say, Davison said: "That is for me."

    "There are different levels of loss," Allocca said. "This has to be the worst."

    Terrible! Police are warning that this road rage person may strike again.





    A multi-jurisdictional task force has been formed to identify the I-81 road rage killer responsible for the death of Timothy Davison on January 4, 2014. Davison, 28, of Poland, Maine, was heading home after visiting family in Florida when he was shot and killed during an apparent road rage incident near Exit 3 in Antrim Township, Franklin County.

    The task force will be a collaborative effort of the Pennsylvania State Police, Maryland State Police, Carroll Township Police Department and the FBI.

    Pennsylvania State Police and the Carroll Township Police of York County are investigating two very similar cases which occurred within roughly eight hours of one another on January 3rd and 4th of 2014.
    Police say that while there are many similarities between the two incidents they have not found enough evidence at this time to conclusively link the shootings. Police are treating the investigations as being related, however, until conclusive evidence proves otherwise.

    What happened to Davison ceased to be random after his first encounter with his killer, according to a release issued by State Police. After theinitial encounter, the acts were very deliberate, calculated, and violent. Police say they are concerned about the potential for more incidents like this one.

    Investigators believe someone in the Tri-State Area knows who is or may be responsible for Davison?s death. If you know someone, with violent tendencies, that owns or operates a Ford Ranger style vehicle and has damage to it; you are encouraged to contact PA Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS (800-472-8477). Additionally if you were travelling on Interstate 81, near the MD and PA line on January 4th, 2014 between 0130 and 0215 you are strongly encourage to contact police if you observed anything thing which you believe is connected to this investigation.

    All alone, out in the middle of no-fucking-where on a lonely interstate in the middle of the night - and you cross paths with a maniac who chases you down and kills you. This is the stuff of nightmares. My heart breaks for this family.
