Summary

Jury selection begins Monday for the murder trial of Josue Alejandro Quintanilla-Reyes, accused of shooting and killing Ricardo Baez Cardenas during a road rage incident on I-40 last March. Facing one count of murder and three firearm charges, Quintanilla-Reyes could receive a life sentence—no death penalty possible—with the defense pledging to argue self-defense. Complicating matters, he also faces federal charges for illegal firearm possession, carrying a 15-year max sentence. Held without bond since arrest, the case underscores how fast road rage can turn deadly, leaving behind a grieving family and a community seeking justice.
