New Mexico man accused of shooting at Odessan
May 28—A New Mexico man was booked into the Ector County jail Monday, hours after being accused of shooting at a motorist on Grandview Avenue.
According to an Odessa Police Department report, officers were dispatched to a Kent Kwik around 7:30 p.m. Sunday about a shooting. When they arrived, the owner of a Ford Mustang said he'd been driving on East 42nd Street when a Dodge Ram pickup truck began following him closely and nearly hit him.
The Mustang owner said when he turned onto northbound Grandview Avenue, the Dodge Ram cut him off, forcing him to change lanes in order to avoid being hit, the report stated.
The Mustang owner said he rolled down his window to ask the other driver what was going on.
The police report redacted what the other driver said in response, but the Mustang owner said the man began reaching around inside his vehicle and he feared he was reaching for a gun.
According to the report, the Mustang owner turned around on Grandview to head southbound and then hear a large noise on the driver's side of his car. He pulled over and found a bullet hole in his car.
Other witnesses confirmed the Mustang owner's story and the fact the truck had New Mexico plates, the report stated. A FLOCK camera identified the license plates belonging to the pickup and then traced the pickup to Raymundo Daniel Lewis.
A warrant was issued and Lewis was booked into the jail hours later on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was released after posting a $15,000 surety bond.
