The father of a 17-year-old boy who died after a road rage shooting on Friday asked for the public’s help in finding the man who opened fire as he and his family were driving home from a Houston Astros game.

“I’m asking for your help in bringing him to justice, and I’m not angry at him. I’m angry at what he did. I don’t know who he is … But I know he killed my son,” said Paul Castro, whose son David died two days after being shot on Tuesday.

Houston police say the driver of a white, four-door Buick LaCrosse with a sunroof exchanged hand gestures with David’s father as they were stuck in slow-moving traffic following an Astros game at around 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
