EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — An EPISD officer was recently charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he shot at another vehicle last month during a road rage incident in East El Paso, according to court documents obtained by KTSM. Court documents say Joseph Andrew Shreve, 30, is facing the charge and claims he shot at a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado multiple times after the truck rear-ended him. Shreve also told police that he chased the Silverado as it fled the scene. Court documents say at around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 18, officers responded to a Quik Trip gas station located at 10300 Gateway Blvd East where they met with Shreve and his supervisor. Court documents say both Shreve and his supervisor were in full EPISD uniform. Shreve's supervisor told officers at the scene that Shreve was driving to an off-duty job in his personal vehicle, a Ford F150, when he was involved in an accident with a Silverado on the 2000 block of Zaragoza, according to court documents. Court documents say Shreve shot at the Silverado multiple times and a pursuit ensued. Shreve called out on his EPISD police radio and was advised by his supervisor to terminate the pursuit. Shreve also met with detectives a second time, where he said that the Silverado also collided with him on his driver's side and then the passenger's side. Shreve then fired three rounds at the Silverado, saying that he was in fear for his life, according to court documents. Officers were able to find the driver of the Silverado, where he told police that he cut off Shreve while traveling South on Zaragoza towards the on-ramp that merges onto Loop 375 South. The driver of the Silverado also told police that Shreve drove up beside him and rammed the Silverado against the cement barrier and was then shot at, according to court documents. Investigators were able to obtain surveillance footage from surrounding businesses which contradicted Shreve's initial statement. Search warrants were also executed for both vehicles, where investigators discovered that there was no rear damage to Shreve's truck and no damage to the front of the Silverado, according to court documents. Shreve's body camera footage captured Shreve telling his supervisor that he "brake checked" in front of the driver of the Silverado before the shooting, according to court documents. Court documents also say that there is no indication that Shreve was in imminent danger and there was no threat.
