An Uber driver told Austin police that a man in a pickup shot at him Tuesday in an apparent act of road rage near downtown, according to court documents.

The Uber driver was at the end of his shift when, sitting at the corner of East Fifth and Neches streets, a white Toyota Tundra "was doing a burnout when the light turned green," an arrest affidavit said. The Uber driver then honked his horn to get the pickup to go, and the driver continued east on Fifth before turning onto the Interstate 35 frontage road.

He told police he was waiting for the light to turn green at East Sixth Street when the Tundra pulled up in front of him on the driver's side and pinned his door shut. The Uber driver said the man in the pickup, later identified by police as 24-year-old Eric Wences Filomeno, leaned out of his window, cocked a handgun and said, "What's up?" before firing a round that struck the hood of the Uber driver's car, the affidavit said.

The Uber driver told police he threw his car in reverse to get away and the Tundra drove off and headed onto the freeway. He tried to follow the pickup and spotted it at the intersection of the I-35 frontage road and 38th Street when he heard another gunshot, he told police.

Officers tracked down the driver of the Tundra, Filomeno — whose identity was confirmed to police by the Uber driver — and interviewed him. Filomeno told police it was the Uber driver who actually threatened him and that he drove off for his own safety. According to the affidavit, Filomeno initially said he fired his gun towards the air but corrected himself and said he fired at the ground.

Filomeno has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with bail set at $25,000. He was not listed in the Travis County Jail on Thursday, according to online records.
