Analysts: Son involved in Fayetteville road rage shooting knew his father was planning to shoot
Analysts: Son involved in road rage shooting knew his father was planning to shoot
Video sent to WRAL News on Tuesday shows Nobles' son, Roger Dale Nobles Jr., get out of the truck and argue with Addison before his father fires a shotgun from the truck's driver's seat.
Anthony Waddy, an analyst with SAV Consulting, said that Nobles Jr.'s body language shows that he played a key role in the shooting.
"Where he's actually standing in reference to, what we call in the military, a fatal funnel," he said. "He's clearly out of harm's way."
Waddy said it appears that Nobles Jr. anticipated the shooting and cleared a path for his father to fire shots. Nobles Jr. got out of the truck to confront Addison, and Nobles Sr. fired a gun from the driver's seat, police said.

Stephen Addison, 32, was riding a motorcycle at about 12:30 p.m. Monday when he was involved in a roadside dispute with Roger Dale Nobles, 51, who allegedly shot and killed Addison, Fayetteville police said in a statement.
Nobles fled after the deadly encounter. He was later arrested on a charge of first-degree murder, police said.
The preliminary investigation has revealed a driver of a truck was engaged in a disturbance with a driver of a motorcycle resulting in the motorcyclist being shot by the suspect, police said.
Addison died at a hospital, police said.
Cumberland County District Attorney Billy West told NBC affiliate WRAL in Raleigh he was investigating whether to also charge Nobles, who is white, with hate crimes in the shooting of Addison, a Black man.
