(Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office) 51shares BY MICHELLE HUNTER mhunter@nola.com, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune Ronald Gasser, the man accused of fatally shooting former NFL player Joe McKnight in a Terrytown road rage confrontation, will head to trial Aug. 7 on a charge of second-degree murder. Judge Ellen Kovach of the 24th Judicial District Court set the date during a status hearing Monday morning (June 12). Prior road rage case OK for trial in death of Joe McKnight Defendant Ronald Gasser was accused of attacking a motorist in 2006 at the same intersection where McKnight was killed. Prosecutors say Gasser, 55, was the aggressor in a "cat-and-mouse" chase that began when McKnight, 28, cut him off while both were driving across the Crescent City Connection on Dec. 1. The chase ended at the intersection of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard in Terrytown when Gasser shot McKnight as the former New York Jets running back stood outside of Gasser's passenger window, authorities have said. Gasser stayed at the scene until authorities arrived. Gasser's attorneys say McKnight was the clear aggressor, and accused him of being under the influence of anabolic steroids, marijuana and pain pills when the shooting occurred. Gasser, defense attorneys said, acted in self-defense to protect himself from McKnight's "violent and erratic behavior." Before the trial, Gasser will return to court July 14 for a motions hearing.

jgb Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Total waste of a young man's life and this guy's life is also now ruined. For what? Because someone cut you off? Who bloody cares. If he had just let it go he wouldn't even remember it happened. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad part is you're ******* serious too. Disappointed in you. No disgusted tbh. He TOOK ANOTHER HUMAN'S LIFE OVER A TRAFFIC ISSUE. Joe died for a petty reason and you think this scumbag is innocent???? Joe will never be happy, sad, angry, eat, drink, love or feel again because of a loser with deep mental issues. Bro, you need to take a step back and evaluate your damn self. What if Joe McKnight was your dad, your son, your uncle, your brother. Would the check he couldn't cash matter then?

He chased someone down in his car and then shot then in the chest when the guy came to his passenger window. If he doesn't go to jail he will probably do it again. Pretty much seems to be his thing. Me I like spending time with my family, hanging out with you guys, fishing and anything else that gives me a chance to eat. I hope this dude never gets a chance to do this again. We can call that justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is annoying when people break the rules on the road, but what is the point of letting it ruin your day? The only time I get upset now is if someone is driving recklessly and could hurt someone. Then just call the cops and be done with it.I actually just got in a car accident a few days ago. My uber driver hit a Lambo. Luckily we were going less than 10mph. That was an interesting experience. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
