The sister of the Perth Amboy trucker driver found shot and killed recently speaks out.
George Guerrero of Perth Amboy was shot and killed by another truck driver on Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla. PERTH AMBOY -- Dina Guerrero was stunned when she learned on Mother's Day her brother, George Guerrero, had been shot and killed in Florida in a road-rage incident.
Dina Guerrero, 43, of Perth Amboy, said she was overwrought with anger and sadness. She said she wanted justice.
"I know he's out there somewhere," she said of the person who killed her brother.
"The guy is an animal," she added. "He took another human being's life. That guy needs to pay."
George Guerrero, a 44-year-old trucker driver of Perth Amboy, was shot and killed on Saturday by another truck driver during a road-rage incident in Jacksonville, Florida. He was shot three times, including once in the head along Interstate 10 at around 2 p.m., according to a report on WKOV.com.
After Guerrero had changed lanes on the highway, the driver of a semitrailer pulled alongside Guerrero, bumped his truck and opened fire, according to Jacksonville.com. Guerrero's truck left the road and ended up in a wooded area off the highway.
Police are still looking for a suspect. Dina said she was informed that police had recently made an arrest, but that it turned out the person was not connected in the incident.
And as the investigation persists, as does her grief.
"You are never going to see this person again; you are never going to hear this person again," she said. "My body is just tired; I don't even know ... It's just been terrible finding out on Mother's Day."
George lived with Dina and her daughter, she said. And she just can't come to terms that someone would shoot and kill her brother over a road rage incident.
"He was trying to make a living the right way, and this man (kills him) over road rage," Dina said, stunned. "To this day, I still can't believe my brother is gone. I don't know how long I'm going to end up feeling like that. I don't know if that is ever going to go away. That's my only brother, and he just took him."
But Dina said she took some comfort in knowing her brother's body would soon be back home from Florida and laid to rest.
Dina said her brother had been transporting loads back and forth between Florida and Georgia. She hadn't seen him in three months.
