Key takeaway The incident occurred after the couple's vehicle was cut off by an e-bike carrying two riders.
A gay couple in Denver was recently victimized in a road rage shooting. The incident occurred after the couple's vehicle was cut off by an e-bike carrying two riders. The couple's actions of honking their horn and flashing their lights apparently prompted the bike riders to follow them.
The couple was subjected to anti-gay slurs and derogatory comments before one of them was shot in the head. The victim remains in critical condition. A suspect, Jacob Sifuentez, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Further details about the incident are available through the events leading up to the shooting and the subsequent arrest.
