Police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal shooting of an off-duty correction officer in an apparent case of road rage, the NYPD said.

The two men didn’t know each other, according to law enforcement sources.
Narain was at a red light when he got into a dispute with someone riding a motorcycle, police said.
“The motorcyclist pulled up alongside, and there was a very short exchange of conversation, very short, and then the shot was fired,” NYPD Chief Bill Aubrey said on Friday.
Hunter’s attorney information wasn’t immediately available.
