A routine drive on W. Lincoln Avenue in West Allis turned into a criminal case on March 11, 2024, when a road-rage argument escalated into gunfire and the entire episode was captured on a driver's dashcam. The video shows a man pulling a gun and firing toward another vehicle, and police say they tracked him down hours later. The driver, identified in court filings as Jason Andujar, was ultimately charged, convicted and is now serving a prison sentence.
In the front-facing dashcam footage, obtained by local outlets and shared with news partners, a gray Chevrolet pulls up next to the suspect at a red light before tempers flare and the suspect fires three rounds through his own window, as reported by TMJ4. According to police, officers stopped the vehicle about three hours later during a traffic stop and brought the driver in for questioning. Prosecutors later charged him with recklessly endangering safety, a jury found him guilty in May 2025, and he was sentenced to four years in prison and three years of extended supervision.
What the video shows
The dashcam records the driver cutting through traffic before the shooting, including passing a school bus on a double-lined stretch and slipping into the bike lane to get around slower cars, maneuvers investigators later pointed to as part of the dangerous pattern that day. On the recording, the suspect can be heard taunting the other driver: "What's the problem? Why are you talking?... Yeah, and your mother too," before opening fire, a line transcribed in the news report published by TMJ4. The clip ties together both the heated exchange and the erratic driving that authorities say helped make the situation so volatile.
Police response and legal record
West Allis officers say they located the vehicle and detained the driver within hours of the shots being fired, then relied on the dashcam video and a recorded interview as core pieces of evidence at trial, according to local reporting. Court documents and a later civil filing state that the defendant is held at New Lisbon Correctional Institution, and the federal docket for a related pro se complaint lists the same place of confinement. Those records are publicly accessible via Leagle.
Why the video matters locally
The case highlights how fast a minor traffic spat can spiral when a gun is involved, and how common dashcams are quietly turning into star witnesses in courtrooms. West Allis officials have already been debating safety upgrades along W. Lincoln Avenue in recent public meetings, and this footage is almost guaranteed to sharpen the focus on speeding, aggressive driving and how those behaviors are enforced. For neighbors who use the corridor every day, the clip lands as a blunt reminder to back off from confrontations on the road and call in truly dangerous driving to police instead of trying to handle it themselves.
