A driver was arrested in the fatal shooting of another motorist following a crash Friday in Weatherford, police say.

Nicholas Kent, 43, was arrested on a murder charge in connection with the shooting, police said. Kent was booked into the Parker County jail and his bail is set at $250,000, according to jail records. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

Weatherford police responded about 7:30 p.m. Friday to a crash on Interstate 20, near South Main Street.

Officers found Kent and a 44-year-old Parker County man who had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. They did not identify the man killed.
