BARBERTON, Ohio (WOIO) - The 30-year-old man accused of fatally shooting another motorist during a road rage incident in Norton last month, appeared before a judge in Barberton Municipal Court Tuesday morning.

The judge ordered Dacarrei Kinard continued to be held at the Summit County Jail without bond and his case will now be bound over to the grand jury.
