Negro U.S. Marine Eric Jamal Johnson, 25, arrested in shooting death of Sara Mutschlechner, a WHITE University of North Texas student slain in road rage attack

Authorities arrested an active U.S. Marine Tuesday in the shooting death of a Texas college student who was slain after an apparent road rage incident.

Eric Jamal Johnson, 25, was taken into custody in Yuma, Ariz., after a warrant was served by the U.S. Marshals Service, Denton police said.

Johnson — who was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, officials confirmed — was wanted in the New Year's Eve shooting of Sara Mutschlechner, 20, a junior at the University of North Texas.

Mutschlechner was driving in Denton about 2 a.m. Friday after attending a party with her sorority sisters from Zeta Tau Alpha when a black SUV pulled up beside them.
