Summary
Victor Romero, 62, was charged with murder after police said he fatally shot Con Edison worker Koran Irvine, 46, on the George Washington Bridge Tuesday night.
Police said Irvine was driving on the outbound upper level around 7:18 p.m. when he was shot in the rear of the right shoulder, crashed into a median and later died at Englewood Hospital.
Investigators believe the shooting was an apparent road-rage attack involving Romero, who was driving a black Range Rover; both men were Rockland County residents.
Romero is a retired NYPD detective who left the force about 25 years ago, while Irvine had recently marked 20 years at Con Edison.
Con Edison called Irvine's death a senseless act of violence; an online fundraiser said he is survived by his wife, Patricia, and two children.
