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 from local news sources, including the events leading up to the shooting and the subsequent arrest.
