Gerald Chapman, a 41-year-old man from Highland Park, NJ, has been found guilty of multiple offenses after a road rage incident on May 5, 2023, where he fired shots at another driver while his two young daughters were in the car. The altercation occurred in heavy traffic on Easton Avenue near the Interstate 287 ramp and involved Chapman striking the victim's car mirror before firing a 9mm handgun at the vehicle. Chapman was convicted of second-degree possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a firearm, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and third-degree hindering apprehension. The jury dropped the initial first-degree attempted murder charge. Sentencing is set for November 15, where Chapman faces up to 10 years in prison. The investigation was aided by Chapman's fingerprints left on the victim's car mirror and his subsequent disposal of the weapon and other evidence.
