Raul Alejandro Fontaine, a 24-year-old Florida man, faces charges of second-degree attempted murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and unlawful discharge in public after a March 1, 2026, road rage shooting in Miami-Dade’s Kendall area. He allegedly pulled alongside the victim on SW 88th Street in a black Jeep Gladiator, yelled threats like “Get out of the car” and “I’m going to f***ing shoot you,” then fired, nearly striking him amid heavy traffic.
Incident Sequence
The victim, driving westbound, first encountered Fontaine driving on the sidewalk near SW 127th Avenue, escaping initially before being pursued and shot at near SW 132nd Avenue. Stopped in traffic, the victim retrieved the spent bullet from the street after it hit a wall, recorded Fontaine’s license plate, and reported to the Hammocks District station with the slug.
Arrest and Confession
Deputies issued a BOLO, located the Jeep at a SW 202nd Avenue residence, and arrested Fontaine nearby around 1:45 p.m. Post-Miranda, he admitted the road rage involvement, claiming he fired once at a wall to scare the victim. He remains held without bond at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with a pretrial hearing scheduled.
Broader Context
The affidavit describes the shot as “recklessly and negligently” fired from a moving vehicle, showing a “depraved mind” endangering lives. No injuries occurred, but the case highlights rising road rage gun violence in South Florida.
