Kevin Piaskowski was fatally shot while driving on Interstate 70 near the Northfield/Quebec Street exit on July 31, 2022.
DENVER — A teen was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to killing a 31-year-old man during a road rage incident on Interstate 70 in 2022.
Jameel James, 18, was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
In September, James pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Prosecutors said he shot Kevin Piaskowski on I-70 near the Northfield/Quebec Street exit in July 2022. His fiancée said Piaskowski was driving home from his job at Denver International Airport.
Another driver’s dashcam caught the shooting, which showed a Dodge Ram truck swerve around Piaskowski’s Subaru Outback. Muzzle flashes and gunshots can be seen and heard in the video.
The Dodge truck, which was reported stolen from Northglenn, then slammed into the back of a semi-trailer and crashed a second time into a side wall and an SUV before coming to a stop.
Piaskowski’s car was found about a quarter-mile from the first crash. He was suffering from gunshot wounds and was rushed to a hospital, where he died.
James, who was 17 years old at the time, ran from the crash scene. Denver Police captured him 12 days later.
