Jury declines to indict man in deadly road rage shooting

A Houston man arrested in a fatal road rage shooting will not face charges in the incident, a Harris County Grand Jury decided Wednesday.

Robert Craig Klimek, 43, of Houston, had been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after Ziad Abu Naim, 42, was shot in the head during a confrontation on June 26.

Klimek's attorney, Craig Seldin, said after the shooting that Klimek was acting in self-defense.

On Wednesday, a grand jury agreed and declined to indict Klimek, effectively dropping all of the charges against him.

The incident made national headlines after the Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked Houston police to investigate the incident as a hate crime, alleging that the gunman made anti-Muslim statements before shooting.
