Woman shot dead after husband flipped aggressive driver on way to work in Texas

A woman was shot and killed in a traffic accident in Texas after her husband knocked over a driver on his way to work.

Paola Nunez Linares, 37, and her husband Zane Jones were driving near Fort Worth, Texas, Monday when she was shot in the back of the head after he rudely gestured at another motorist for driving “aggressively.”

The grieving husband said that before the shooting, the couple was behind someone driving slowly in the right lane, so they used the left lane to pass.

Another driver drove up to the bumper of their Kia minibus and almost crashed into it before backing away.

“And I flipped them,” Jones said, adding, “She.” [his wife] always told me not to scare people off, because you never know.’

The grieving husband said he thought the other driver was also sending him away, but then realized they were holding a gun. The shooting occurred at the 1400 block of West Hurst Blvd, pictured above

Zane said he thought the other person was throwing him out too, but then realized they were holding a gun.

The driver then slowed down and fired through the back left window of the minibus, hitting Paola in the back of the head.

They then fired a second time through Zane’s headrest and windshield.

“I want him caught, I want him prosecuted, I want him in jail. I want him to know he didn’t just shoot a gun at a car, “the end,” Jones told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

“He killed someone unlike anyone else…I want him to rot.”

Zane said he didn’t realize Paola was hit until he pulled into a gas station to call 911 and noticed she wasn’t ducking, but was collapsing and injured.

Paola was taken to hospital and pronounced dead that night. Zane’s hands were tested for weapon residue to rule him out as a suspect.

Police have not yet identified a suspect and the gunman’s car has only been described as a small, dark-colored older model car.

Hurst police told DailyMail.com they still have no possible suspects or the model of the vehicle.

Speaking to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, Zane tearfully explained his devastation that he couldn’t have taken a closer look at the shooter.

“I assume it’s a man, and I’ve told the police. They asked me why and I said because he was a shooter. I assume it’s a male, but I didn’t see his face,” he said.

It was already dark outside. We work night shifts.’

Paola had just moved to the US from Guatemala to be with Zane, who said he told his wife she would be safer in Texas than in her native country, where she had been robbed several times.

“He killed someone who fought so hard to be here, who loved my children, who loved me, someone who is building a life and career for herself,” the emotional widower said.

“Someone who had nothing to do with anything. Someone who was a passenger of the one he was angry with.’

Paola recently got her green card and worked with Zane at a paint factory.

She was close to Zane’s four children from a previous marriage, who range in age from six to 17.

Zane and the police have asked anyone with information about the shooting to come forward and contact Detective C. Jackson at 817-788-7179.

a GoFundMe established to cover Paola’s family’s travel expenses and memorial service, has raised $4,300 of its goal of 10,000.

“She’s going to be cremated and we’re going to have a service here at a service in Guatemala, and then we’re going to take her ashes and we’re going to put them wherever she wanted to be—all her favorite places,” Zane said through tears.
