DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police have arrested a man in connection to the July 26 shooting death of a 26-year-old on the side of Interstate 285.
Raul Escobar-Paz, 45, was arrested in the fatal road rage shooting of 26-year-old Tyler Sieber near the Buford Highway exit on I-285.
Investigators took Escobar-Paz into custody Wednesday at a Gwinnett County home approximately two months after Sieber was found shot and killed on the highway.
Escobar-Paz faces charges of malice murder, armed robbery and hit-and-run. He is being held without bond at the DeKalb County Jail.
Anton Sieber, Tyler Sieber’s father, told Action News Jax’s Atlanta station WSB-TV that he and his son had just picked up a car from Facebook Marketplace and were getting onto the interstate in separate vehicles when a car driven by Escobar-Paz weaved between them.
Sieber said the driver appeared agitated before striking his vehicle.
“He was noticeably agitated by that and then as we got on 285, he just immediately hit me in the back end of my car, sending me into a tailspin in the middle of 285,” Anton Sieber said.
The vehicle that hit him pulled over briefly before speeding off.
After confirming his father was unharmed, Tyler Sieber decided to pursue the fleeing vehicle.
“My son, he told me he was gonna follow him since he saw that I was okay and that’s the last time I ever saw him,” Anton Sieber said.
