Wisconsin Road Rage: Dashcam Captures Shooting & 4-Year Sentence
Wisconsin Man Films Own Road Rage Shooting, Receives Prison Sentence
A road rage incident in West Allis, Wisconsin, captured on the shooter’s own dashcam, has resulted in a four-year prison sentence for Jason Andujar. The incident, which occurred on March 11, 2024, highlights the escalating problem of road rage and the potential consequences of drivers recording their own criminal behavior.
Andujar believed his dashcam would protect him in the event of a dispute, but instead, the footage served as key evidence in his conviction, according to reports. The video depicts a confrontation at a stoplight that quickly escalated into gunfire.
On W. Lincoln Avenue in West Allis, Andujar found himself stopped at a red light next to a Chevrolet pickup truck. A tense exchange between the two drivers ensued. According to a transcription relayed by TMJ4 News, the interaction began with a question, “What’s the problem?” followed by an insult directed at the other driver’s mother. The situation rapidly deteriorated.
As the light turned green, Andujar allegedly drew a handgun and fired three shots toward the pickup truck through his window. Fortunately, no one was struck by the gunfire. The dashcam continued recording as Andujar fled the scene, weaving through traffic, illegally passing a stopped school bus on a double yellow line, and even using a bike lane to overtake other vehicles, narrowly avoiding collisions.
Police located Andujar’s vehicle approximately three hours after the shooting. During a traffic stop, officers questioned him about the incident. Initially, Andujar denied any involvement, asking why he had been stopped. However, when confronted with the footage from his own dashcam, he admitted to firing the shots. He reportedly told investigators he believed the other driver was armed and had already drawn a weapon, stating, “He pulls it out, and I’m like ‘OK, we can go right here,’” according to TMJ4 News.
In May 2025, a jury found Andujar guilty of “recklessly endangering safety,” a charge under Wisconsin law. He was sentenced to four years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He is currently incarcerated at the New Lisbon Correctional Institution.
This case is not isolated. Similar incidents have been documented in other states, with drivers inadvertently recording evidence that leads to their own convictions. In 2022, a driver in California filmed himself driving recklessly, and that footage was later used to convict him and require him to have a tracking device installed in his vehicle.
The incident underscores a growing trend of road rage escalating to violence. In 2022, there were 141 deaths and 413 injuries resulting from road rage incidents involving firearms in the United States, a significant increase from 70 deaths and 176 injuries in 2018. This case serves as a stark reminder that a dashcam records everything, including actions a driver might prefer to remain unseen by a jury.
