ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A man is facing murder charges in the road-rage killing of a 4-year-old Albuquerque girl who was shot in her father’s truck.

Police said Tony Torrez was arrested Wednesday and admitted to the shooting in the death of Lilly Garcia. Lilly was riding in the backseat with her 7-year-old brother after they were picked up from school Tuesday when someone in a Toyota opened fire.

The father told police he was trying to exit I-40 when a car forced him out of his lane. “The two drivers exchanged words when Torrez pulled out a gun and shot,” the police statement continued. “Lilly was hit at least once in the head.”
