An ex-con was arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting another man at an Oceanside intersection in a fit of road rage, authorities said Friday.
Pele Fuifui, 51, was taken into custody in Orange County on Thursday for allegedly gunning down Justin Bazan, 34, of Vista at College Boulevard and Olive Drive at about 2 a.m. Sunday, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
The shooting, detectives said, “appears to have stemmed from a road-rage incident.”
Fuifui, who was paroled in 2019 after serving 23 years in prison for a San Diego homicide, was booked into county jail in Vista on suspicion of first-degree murder.
He was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Tuesday.
