INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police confirmed an arrest of a New Palestine man for his alleged role in a May 21 road rage shooting.
An ISP spokesperson said 52-year-old Stephen Uppfalt turned himself in to troopers on June 10 after learning warrants had been issued.
Uppfalt faces allegations of attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness, the spokesperson said.
According to ISP, the incident happened around 4:15 p.m. on Interstate 465 around Brookville Road on Indianapolis' southeast side.
The victim, a 19-year-old, told investigators he was driving a white Kia and "was getting onto I-465 when another vehicle pulled along side (sic) him, the driver was yelling out the window and swerving toward his vehicle. At some point during the confrontation the driver of the other vehicle allegedly fired several shots toward the Kia, striking the driver at least once."
The man was treated for his injuries at a hospital. No one else was hurt.
