A man was fatally shot in the head after he dropped of a present for his daughter's birthday, authorities in Arizona said.
Before the shooting, the man had been tailgating 37-year-old Domingo Luz on Dec. 5 in Chandler, police said in a probable cause statement.
The two then got into an argument over the tailgating, police said.
After the argument, the man drove to drop a present off for his daughter's birthday, police said.
Luz went to his apartment to get a rifle and went back to the area where the two had been arguing about 10 minutes later, police said.
He saw the man backing out of a driveway and fired his gun multiple times at the man's vehicle as he backed out, police said. Luz's girlfriend and son were in his car at the time, police said.
A bullet fatally struck the man in the head during the shooting, police said. The identity of the man who died has not been released.
Police found Luz two days after the incident and arrested him.
During his arrest, he dropped what police believed to be a small bag of heroin, authorities said.
Luz told police he shot at the engine block in the man's vehicle "to scare him" and said he believed the man was going to "drive at him."
However, police said surveillance video of the shooting didn't match what Luz said.
He was charged with the following:
first-degree murder
possession of a weapon by a prohibited person
discharging a firearm in a city limit
possession of a narcotic drug
A lawyer for Luz was not listed in court documents.
His bail was set at $1.5 million.
Chandler is about 25 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals signed veteran reliever Aroldis Chapman to a $3.75 million, one-year contract Friday, a week after agreeing to terms with the seven-time All-Star, who is coming off a lackluster season with the New York Yankees.

Brazil's federal police searched the home of a nephew of former President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday in connection with the Jan. 8 storming of government buildings in the capital by far-right protesters.

It was the first time a member of Bolsonaro's family has been included in the investigations of the uprising in Brasilia, which underlined the political polarization in Brazil.
