It suggests 26-year-old Caitlyn Kaufman may have been a victim of road rage in December.

Two men have been charged with criminal homicide in her death. They are 21-year-old Devaunte Lewis Hill and 28-year-old James Edward Cowan.

Davidson County General Sessions Judge Melissa Blackburn found probable cause after a witness said Hill gave him the weapon used and told him that Hill had cut them off along the highway, prompting the gunfire.

A detective said Hill told police a similar story.

The case now goes to a grand jury.
