A father from Texas has been arrested for allegedly shooting an Amazon manager after mistaking him for another man he believed was kidnapping his daughter. Jonathan Ross Mata, 39, was captured on CCTV opening fire on a vehicle being driven by Desmond Butler, 25, which sadly led to the younger man’s death.
The altercation took place outside of a gas station in Houston around 1AM on Dec. 25. Footage obtained by KHOU 11 shows a man who appears to be Mata and his wife exiting their vehicle. The wife is then seen running after the car driven by Butler as he pulls out of the gas station. The man then aims a pistol at the moving car and fires off a few shots with Butler’s car crashing out of frame.
