A heroic Texas teen was shot in the heart during a road rage nightmare but still managed to safely veer her car off the road to save her passengers before she died.
Louise Jean Wilson, 17, was driving to watch the sunrise in Galveston with her boyfriend and another friend when the heated confrontation ignited on Dec. 10, according to Houston Police.
Police said Wilson unintentionally swerved in front of the suspect’s four-door sedan to avoid getting into an accident when the gunman opened fire in response at around 1 a.m. on Interstate 45 in Houston.
“The vehicle that they had cut off accelerated and overtook her on her driver’s side,” Det. Caleb Bowling said during the press conference.
Despite being mortally wounded, Wilson safely guided her car off the road to save her friends from the gunfire and prevent other drivers from crashing into her vehicle on the busy interstate.
“Louise’s last act was to safely pull over, most likely saving the lives of two males,” Detective Caleb Bowling said during the press conference. “It was a heroic act to get that car to the side and stop with the injuries that she sustained.”
A 17-year-old male passenger was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound and was treated and released. A third male was not injured.
The suspect, described as a black male in his mid-20s, has yet to be located by police.

I’ve heard this type of thing happening before and the suspect is of often Latino.
I guess the black dude was pissed that someone drove like he does.
Um, no.
It's not Mexicans committing recreational homicide. It's blacks.
Sh*t, if blacks could evolve to the crime rate of Latinos, we'd be living in paradise.
What is wrong with the NYPost. Don’t they know that you are not allowed to provide the race of a subject if is black?
When I lived in Houston the seventeen year old son of a co-worker was killed in a similar manner while driving a carload of girls home from a barn dance.
Seems some Hispanic “teens” had been kicked out of the dance and wanted revenge on the person who got them kicked out.
They picked the wrong car and killed the wrong guy and said it was just a mistake.
Incidents like this, added to what is going in Israel, make me painfully aware, yet again, of just what a savage place this world is. Decency, kindness, mercy and pity all seem to be aberrations from the pre-civilizational norm: merciless tribal violence and atavistic rage.
It wasn't Hispanic teens who killed this young woman. It was a black dude.
Two posts now want to blame this on Hispanics? I'm scratching my head. The article says police are looking for a black male in his 20s.
Deep States everywhere love to gin up games of lets-you-and-him-fight.
And too many people are willing to play along.
I related a true incident.
Seems you have a problem with truth.
Yep. We're heading towards a Mad Max dystopia.
Blacks have a massive head start over the rest of us who still naively believe we are living in some semblance of civility.
Blacks know how to murder people, --teenage girls, over nothing, and not lose a wink of sleep.
When the SHTF, that's a huge advantage
She was murdered by a black guy. You're trying to deflect to Hispanic criminals. Why?
Truly tragic.
I’m in PA today. Last night, i was cut off on the highway several times by drivers that should know better.
People are selfish.
I wasn’t trying to do anything. When I lived in Houston a similar thing happened to the seventeen year old son of a co-worker.
You seem to be quite the racist, laser-focused on race as you are. Racist are people who are obsessed with race and make everything about race.
I don’t care what a perp’s skin color is. A perp is a perp.
I read your first post, not sure why he poked you, seems like the poster is just about as tightly wound as the perp in this story.
The white girl disrespected the inferior Black male
You are obsessed with the race of a perp. If the shoe fits.
I will argue that there are many interstate drivers that are just bad drivers. They commonly pass some one, resume in the right lane too close in front and maybe slow down. I see this all the time as people pass 18 wheelers and get back in the right lane much to close ahead.
They are just bad drivers who can’t grasp the way to drive on aqn interstate.
Will this be prosecuted as a hate crime? Oh wait, we’ll never know the motive. Perhaps the perp had “mental health issues.”™
