Texas “Road Rage” Shooting EXPOSED as Murder-for-Hire Plot!
In the early hours of February 4, a 40-year-old man was driving his work vehicle along Grand Parkway when an unknown gunman opened fire multiple times. The victim was struck by several bullets but miraculously survived and remains hospitalized. Authorities initially suspected a road rage altercation, but surveillance footage from inside the victim’s truck revealed a far more sinister plot.
On February 15, police arrested Ricardo Obando, 49, and his stepson, Matthew Rosas, 24, on charges of attempted capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors allege that Obando was hired to kill the victim, while Rosas was paid $300 to serve as the getaway driver. Rosas reportedly admitted his involvement, revealing that he had been tracking the victim’s movements for several days before the attack.
Investigators discovered $220 and two fresh $100 bills on Rosas at the time of his arrest, which he claimed was the remainder of his payment for the crime.
During their court appearance, Obando was ordered not to have contact with Rosas—until he disclosed their family connection, referring to Rosas as his “son.” Upon learning this, the judge lifted the no-contact order.
Both men remain in custody at Harris County Jail. Obando, who has prior felony convictions, is being held on $270,000 bond, while Rosas, who also faces a drug possession charge, is detained on $100,000 bond. Obando is scheduled to appear in court again on March 3, while Rosas’ next hearing is set for March 26.
Authorities have not yet disclosed who allegedly hired Obando or the motive behind the assassination attempt. The investigation remains ongoing.
