Man accused of shooting during road rage incident on I-20 in Abilene with child in car

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – A man accused of shooting into another vehicle during a road rage incident while a child was in his car in Abilene has been indicted.

Kaleb Jones was indicted by a Taylor County Grand Jury Thursday for Aggravated Assault and Deadly Conduct in connection to the allegations.

Court documents state a victim called police in December 2024 to report his vehicle was struck by gunfire during a road rage incident on I-20 in Abilene. 

Officers were able to locate Jones driving a vehicle that matched the description given by the victim a short time later, according to the documents.

The documents reveal Jones was in possession of a firearm and admitting to discharging it three times into the victim’s vehicle during a road rage incident. 

A passenger in Jones’ vehicle also spoke to police, and the documents state she said she urged Jones to slow down and exit to avoid a confrontation, but he ignored her and initiated the shooting while she and her 2-year-old child were in the car. 

“It was discovered that Jones discharged the firearm out of the rear passenger window, which was where the child was seated,” according to the documents.

The victim’s vehicle did have three different bullet hole entry points, and investigators did determine the rounds were fired in his direction. 

Jones was booked into the Taylor County Jail in December, where he has remained held on bonds totaling more than $530,000.
