News Center 7 previously reported police body cam video showed the victim giving her account to police.

“He pulled out a gun and shot my car twice. He said, ‘You’re going to die today,’ and pulled out a gun and shot my car twice,” the victim tells police.

A witness recorded the whole thing on the dash camera.

The video shows it all started at the Wilmington Pike and I-675 interchange when the cars nearly crashed into each other at the merge point on the ramp to I-675 North.

As the cars drove up the highway, video showed Pyle pointing his pistol out the window and firing two shots at the other driver.

The police report showed bullet holes in the victim’s doors and even bullet fragments that ended up inside her car.

Five months after the crime Pyle has been convicted by his own admission.

Pyle is free on bond until his sentencing in September.

He could face anywhere from 2-12 years in prison.
