"A New Jersey actor whose credits include HBO's hit The Sopranos, as well as the films J. Edgar and The Prestige, has been indicted on charges related to a road rage incident, during which he shot a woman in the face near Stockton University, police said. Ernest Heinz is facing 31 counts in connection with the violent rampage, including first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons offenses, NJ Advance Media reported."
"As they both approached the upcoming light, Heinz yelled at her, reached his hand out the window and fired a single shot, Capt. Mark D'Esposito of the Galloway Township Police Department said at the time. Prosecutors claimed that the 48-year-old actor also shouted, I'm going to kill you, during his violent outburst. When officers arrived on the scene around 12:30 p.m., they found Arias-Galva suffering from a non-fatal gunshot wound to the upper nose."
"Cops eventually located Heinz after the victim called 911 to say she'd been shot, describing her attacker as a white male with his blond hair in a ponytail. She said he was driving a white Honda SUV that fled toward the Stockton University campus grounds."
