KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City man has been charged with abandoning his girlfriend’s body after she apparently was shot accidentally during a road-rage confrontation.

Jackson County prosecutors say the abandonment and unlawful firearm possession charges against 25-year-old Eric Marquez stems from the fatal shooting of Brenda Vera.

Court records say Marquez told his brother that the shooting happened when another driver brandished a gun after a collision. Marquez told his brother he was firing at the driver when he accidentally shot Vera.

The Kansas City Star reports that investigators don’t know when or where the shooting happened. Vera was found dead last week inside a truck that had been stolen from Kansas City, Kansas.

A standoff ensued, but Marquez was gone when officers entered the home and isn’t in custody.

Marquez has weapons and drug convictions from Allen County in 2014, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
