What they're saying:
"They're basically tracing back the steps of what led into that particular incident. Where did the car come from? What cameras could have possibly caught the individual suspect along with the license plate and color of the vehicle," said Alex Del Carmen, a criminologist.
He said he's seen an increase lately in what he calls more violent forms of road rage incidents.
"Before, it would be the car being utilized as a weapon almost and trying to interfere with somebody's way of going or perhaps trying to bully the other driver. But now they're resorting to guns. They're resorting to other methods that are perhaps even more lethal," he said.
What we don't know:
Dallas police said their investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
They haven't released any information about the shooter or shooter's vehicle.
The name and age of the deceased victim also hasn't yet been released.
Police have only described the other victims as men.
