Johnson is still locked up in Yuma, Arizona, where some Denton investigators have gone to follow leads. Eric Jamal Johnson, 20, was taken into custody after being located in Yuma, Arizona by the U.S. The U.S. Marine Corps said in a news release that Johnson was arrested in connection with the Denton shooting around 6:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. Nor was it known if Mutschlechner was targeted, or if she even knew Johnson or anyone else inside the other vehicle.

 DENTON – An arrest has been made in connection with the New Year's Day murder of Sara Mutschlechner, a student at the University of North Texas. Mutschlechner, who is said to have been driving a car full of people home Sunday morning, was shot in the head about 2 a.m., causing her to hit another vehicle before crashing into a utility pole. Kizer said some of the occupants of the suspect's vehicle began talking with the occupants of Mutschlechner's vehicle, and it was amicable until the men in the suspect's vehicle began making derogatory comments towards the women in the victim's vehicle.

– A 20-year-old US Marine stationed in Arizona has become the only person arrested in the New Year's Eve road rage shooting of University of North Texas student Sara Mutschlechner. Eric Jamal Johnson, a corporal who has been in the military since 2013, was taken into custody at the Marine air station in Yuma, which is more than 1,000 miles away from Denton, Texas, where Mutschlechner was shot dead, CNN reports. A police spokesman says the 20-year-old student was shot after a "verbal confrontation" between passengers in her car and men in an SUV, reports the North Texas Daily. The police spokesman says that after the SUV pulled up, it was an "amicable conversation to begin with, but quickly went downhill and some derogatory statements were made toward the female occupants of [Mutschlechner's] vehicle." He says shots were fired from the SUV after male passengers in Mutschlechner's car reacted angrily to the "very derogatory" remarks, which were of a "sexual nature," reports CNN. Investigators say some members of both groups had been at the same party before the 2am shooting. Police haven't named Johnson as the shooter or said whether there will be more arrests, reports WFAA, though they have said that he was seen with a handgun inside the vehicle before the shooting.
