An 18-year-old man is being held without bail and charged with murder after admitting to shooting and killing another man in a fit of road rage.
Jonathan Mejia of Illinois allegedly killed Scott Mattison, a 46-year-old father of two, after the pair got into an altercation on Sunday.
In footage of the incident, filmed by an anonymous source parked behind Mejia's car, Mattison is seen standing outside the driver-side window.

He allegedly admitted to being the shooter and possessing a gun he shouldn't have had. Mejia was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to police.Judge Jill C. Marisie of the Third Municipal District ruled Wednesday that Mejia be held without bail as he awaits trial.
