Man Wanted For 2019 Road Rage Shooting On Route 309 In Whitemarsh Arrested In Philly

WHITEMARSH, PA — A man wanted in connection with a 2019 road rage shooting on busy Route 309 in Montgomery County is now in police custody, according to local news reports and arrest records.

Keith Choice, 31, of Philadelphia, was arrested Tuesday night by state troopers and brought to the Troop K State Police barracks on Belmont Avenue in Philadelphia, just over the Montgomery County line, according to a report on Channel 6 ABC Action News.

Action News has video showing Choice being led in handcuffs by Pennsylvania State Police.

State court records show that Choice was arraigned on various criminal charges Tuesday evening before Magisterial District Judge James P. Gallagher.

Choice was confined to the county jail after failing to post bail, records show.

He is being charged with felony-grade aggravated assault/attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference, as well as a misdemeanor count of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 16 before Judge Gallagher.

According to news reports, Choice was pegged by investigators at the man who fired a gun into another vehicle on Route 309 in Whitemarsh Township back on Jan. 23, 2019.

The bullet ended up missing the 65-year-old victim's neck but struck him in the arm, according to the 6 ABC report. He was treated at a hospital and survived.

Pennsylvania State Police did not state how they came to identify Choice as the alleged shooter. An arrest warrant was issued last month.
