According to Davison’s description to 911 operators, the police believe the suspect was in a darkly colored small pick-up truck, possibly a Ford Ranger. They say there’s no indication that Davison knew his pursuer or what might have lead to the violent confrontation.

Hicks said police are hoping to get more details about the suspect from Davison’s emergency call.

“He was on 911 for the majority of the time of this incident so we’re reviewing the tapes right now,” Hicks told ABC News affiliate WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, Pa. “We’re hoping we can get some more information that might help us find out what happened and who did it.”

The killing comes just one day after another alleged roadway incident when a man in York County, Pa., said a driver pulled up beside him, reportedly in dark a Nissan, and started to shoot at his vehicle. The driver in that incident was unharmed and the suspect has not been caught.

Hicks said police were still investigating and have not determined whether the two incidents were related.
