Treyivion Shaquille Ross, 26, and David Ray Young, 56, were complete strangers when they got into a minor fender bender, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office in Texas. They stepped out of their vehicles at a gas station to exchange information, but Ross lashed out, attacking the man more than twice his age.

Now he has been sentenced to prison for slightly longer than the victim lived.

Ross received a 58-year term on Thursday. He will have the opportunity for parole once he serves at least half of it.

“Ross was driving a recently purchased 2010 blue Mitsubishi Lancer that day,” prosecutors said in a news release. “As he pulled out of the parking lot, he and Young collided. Young was driving a 2011 black Lincoln MKZXXX.”
