Halladay is accused of killing Joshua Baca, 31, during what police believe to be a road rage attack, according to an Albuquerque Police Department news release.

Witnesses told police Halladay then fired two shots at Baca’s vehicle, which kept going for a block before stopping at the intersection of Louisiana and Montgomery NE. Still at the wheel, Baca was pronounced dead on the scene, according to the release.
Halladay took off toward a nearby apartment complex, the release details, where detectives were later able to identify him by the description of his motorcycle.
Halladay was booked into Metropolitan Detention Center at around 5:45 p.m. on Saturday and is currently being held without bond .
