 ARLINGTON – Police need your help catching the man who was riding in the backseat of a car on a busy highway and shot a stranger. They want an arrest, but no one wants justice more than the victim’s family. 
 
 "A father tries to be there for his kids to protect them always," said a tearful Malcolm Daniel of Fort Worth. 
 
 There's no way a father like him can understand why someone would take his child's life. 
 
 News 8's Jobin Panicker spoke to the passenger who was sitting next to Brittany Daniel when she was shot by a road rage suspect. Daniel would die as her friend tried to get help at the scene. 
 
 "Why?" he cried out. "Why did you do this to our daughter?" 
 
 His daughter was the victim of deadly road rage. It happened at the tail end of Wednesday evening's rush hour on a busy Interstate 30 near the Cooper Street exit. Brittany Daniel, 26, was taking her co-worker home when police say a car driving recklessly pulled up alongside her in the eastbound lanes.

 "Apparently the vehicle thought that the victim’s car maybe wasn’t traveling fast enough, so they tried to get around the victim’s car," said Arlington police spokesman Lt. Christopher Cook. 
 
 Jasmine Thomas considers Brittany Daniel her sister and best friend. Thomas says she was getting a ride home from work when the shots were fired.

 "He kept swerving in and out of lanes," Thomas said of the erratic driver. At one point, words were exchanged between Daniel and the occupants of the other vehicle, according to Thomas. 
 
 Cook says seconds after passing Daniel's car, the suspect rolled down his backseat window and started screaming obscenities and then fired at least two shots. 
 
 "We heard two pops. [Brittany] said that she was hit. She managed to pull over and she managed to say that she had been shot and 'Call 911 for me Jasmine,' and I did," Thomas said.

 Sadly, when first responders showed up, it was too late to save Brittany Daniel. 
 
 "By the time me and my wife got there, they were telling us that we lost our baby," said her father,, who calls his daughter his "baby girl." 
 
 He's grieving along with Brittany's mother, four brothers, friends, and a large extended family. 
 
 "One minute you're laughing and talking, planning things, and the next minute, she's gone," Thomas said. "Who would have ever seen that coming?" 
 
 Nothing, however, justified killing her. 
 
 "My main goal in life is to try and find this person that’s responsible and make them hope they pay for this," Malcolm Daniel said.

 Police don’t have any surveillance video to help them, so they really need the eyes and ears of the public. They’re asking for anyone driving on I-30 near Cooper Street between 6:45 and 7 p.m. Wednesday who saw or knows something to speak up. 
 
 Police have a vague description of the suspect. He’s a light-skinned black or Hispanic man in his mid-20s. He was sitting in the back of small four-door sedan with tinted windows. The car, they believe, was dark-colored. 
 
 "This is someone that needs to be caught, that needs to be brought to justice," Lt. Cook said. 
 
 Call Arlington police Detective Steve Griesbach at 817-459-5325 if you have any information to help solve this case. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS.

– Police are searching for a man who killed a Texas woman in an apparent road-rage shooting in Arlington on Wednesday. Police say Brittany Daniel, 26, was shot while driving on Interstate 30 about 7pm, reports the Dallas Morning News. Daniel's father tells WFAA that his daughter was dropping off coworkers from her housekeeping job when a car began swerving around her. A passenger in Daniel's vehicle says a male passenger in a small car with tinted windows then opened fire. It isn't clear whether Daniel had any interaction with those in the other vehicle before she was shot, but her father says she would likely speak up in such a situation. Police describe the shooter as "a light-skinned black or Hispanic male with dark hair, possibly in his mid-20s," per WFAA. The incident marks the second road-rage-related death of a young Texas woman in the past month. On New Year's Eve, a 20-year-old University of North Texas student was shot and killed while driving in Denton. A 20-year-old US Marine has been arrested in that case.
