Also
he said Beams cut in front of him, made obscene gestures and repeatedly slammed on his brakes.

From that story "“There’s not a doubt in my mind that he pointed a rifle at me,” Beams told The Observer Oct. 13. “I seen the brown of the barrel.”" What type of rifle has a brown barrel?

This Beams character comes across as the one that should be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle) by trying to cause an accident. However, given that there were no eye witnesses other than the two people involved, I don't see how its possible for anyone to conclude that there is sufficient evidence either at the time of the incident or now. All you have is two people each claiming that the other one was the aggressor.

Re: Curious Houston Area Road Rage Incident

Very interesting use of the phrase "he slowed down in front of a truck" instead of "he cut off a truck". Too little to go on here, but it sounds like the "victim" may well have been the aggressor in this case. If he was hitting his breaks aggressively, then I could see how the guy in the truck could have perceived a deadly threat and reacted accordingly.

They really need to clear up exactly who followed who off the Freeway. It would also be good to understand whether any shots were fired.
