Hieu Tran, 27, of Yonkers, was charged on Thursday with first-degree attempted murder for the shooting of a 30-year-old Voorhees Township man, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Tran is believed to have used his service weapon in the shooting, which occurred while he was off duty.
It happened around 11:13 p.m. on May 17 at Route 73 and Cooper Road in Voorhees Twp.
Police say Tran shot another driver in a fit of road rage, causing a major crash.
Officers responding to the scene found one of the drivers suffering from a gunshot wound.
The 30-year-old victim was found trapped in his pickup truck and critically injured.
"We're going to have to take a rapid extrication for this one - in the yellow F-150," first responders can be heard saying the night of the crash.
Investigators say surveillance video shows a white SUV next to the yellow truck at the intersection, before the truck accelerated causing a crash.
The SUV then sped off.
Police tracked it to a gas station in Mt. Laurel, where they say Tran purchased gas.
They say cell phone records indicate he was in that area at the time, and ballistics show the three bullets were fired from his service weapon.
That driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to Cooper University Hospital where he was still receiving treatment as of Friday.
Tran was also charged with second-degree aggravated assault and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Tran is suspended without pay, per department policy when an officer is arrested. He joined the department in February 2021 and has been assigned to the social media unit at the police department's public information unit since last year.
Tran waived extradition and will be transferred to the custody of detectives with the Camden County Prosecutor's Office on Friday afternoon.
