2 suspects in St. Johnsbury road rage shooting captured in Massachusetts

ST. JOHNSBURY — Two suspects wanted in connection with a road rage shooting were captured by law enforcement in Massachusetts on Monday evening.

Justin French, 36, and Kayla Cabey, 33, both of Bradford, had been sought by various law enforcement agencies throughout the day after being spotted in southeastern Vermont.

The Vermont State Police St. Johnsbury barracks initiated an investigation on Sept. 20 into an alleged road rage incident that resulted in gunfire on U.S. Route 302 in South Ryegate.

Troopers obtained New England-wide and New York extraditable arrest warrants for French and Cabey on charges of first-degree attempted murder, reckless endangerment and criminal threatening.

The investigation indicates the shooting was not a random act of violence and involved people who knew each other.

French and Cabey were considered armed and dangerous and were known to frequent Orange, Caledonia and Washington counties, with strong ties to Grafton County, New Hampshire.

The investigation is ongoing and involves detectives from the Vermont State Police Criminal Division.
