GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Two High Point men are in police custody in connection with a shooting Thursday that police say started all because of a minor traffic accident.

The incident began at 4:19 p.m. on Battleground Avenue near West Smith Street when a red Audi and a silver Nissan were involved in a collision that involved minor property damage only, Greensboro police Public Information Officer Susan Danielsen said.

According to interviews, the occupants of both vehicles were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated when an occupant of the Audi produced a handgun and appeared to threaten an occupant of the Nissan.

The occupants of the Nissan entered their vehicle and left the area, and were pursued by the occupants of the Audi who fired several rounds striking the Nissan, Danielsen said.

No one was injured.

The driver of the Audi, William Taken Quasi Curry, 20, of High Point, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon.

Also arrested was Travontae Junior Wilson, 20, of High Point, a passenger in the Audi. He faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm in city limits and endangerment of a child.

The child endangerment charge stems from the fact that Curry's infant son was in the Audi at the time of the shooting.

Police call the incident “a bad case of road rage.”

“The damage to both vehicles was minor something that could have easily been handled with the insurance companies,” said Lt. Calvin Stevens. “These guys chose they wanted to be bolder and bigger than that.”

“They should just call for the police and let us handle it,” Stevens said.

Additional charges may be pending, Danielsen said.

The names of the victims are being temporarily withheld.

The crash is still under investigation.

Photos of Curry and Wilson have not been released by police.
