Corona - A 34-year-old man was killed on Tuesday when an apparent road-rage dispute that began on the Riverside (91) Freeway ended in gunfire on a Corona street.

Ignacio Duarte Jr., of Corona, was pronounced dead at the scene of the roughly 2 a.m. shooting in the 1000 block of Pomona Road.

According to Corona police, Duarte and another motorist had been involved in some sort of road rage incident while both traveled on the westbound 91 Freeway shortly before 2 a.m.
