CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) — A Bonita man and a Chula Vista woman have been charged in connection with a shooting that left another man injured after a fight in traffic Wednesday morning.

According to the Chula Vista Police Department, 19-year-old Gillio Repetto is charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and 19-year-old Serenity Nieblas is charged with aiding in the escape of a suspect.

The shooting happened around 10 a.m. at the intersection of Olympic Parkway and Town Center Drive. A witness was able to catch the incident on camera says the altercation appeared to stem from road rage.

The footage shows two men squaring off for a fistfight in the middle of the intersection. They dart between cars and stopped at a red light. Seconds later, the man in a dark-hooded sweatshirt retreats to the passenger door of his silver sedan. He was apparently retrieving a handgun, the witness said.

The footage captures four gunshots directed at a man in a green hat. Bullet holes are visible in the glass of a vehicle inches from his body. After the shooting, the man drove himself a short distance away, called 911, and was taken to a hospital for treatment, according to police.

Repetto and Nieblas are both booked into the San Diego County Jail.
