State police are asking for assistance to identify the owner of a vehicle believed to be involved in a deadly shooting that occurred on Feb. 3 on Route 95 Southbound, officials said in a release.

Images of the gray, silver, or dark-colored sedan were captured from civilian dashboard camera footage just before 10 p.m. on the night of the incident, police said. The sedan, believed to be a Hyundai Sonata with some cosmetic alterations, had reportedly been operating erratically and at a high speed.

Shots were fired by either the driver or occupant of the sedan into a black Mercedes driven by North Attleboro resident Justin R. Parker, police said. The Mercedes swerved into a Lexus SUV driven by a family and was crashed off of the road, though all members of the Lexus survived.

Officials said that Parker’s car veered left and hit the center guard rail on the highway after hitting the Lexus just south of Exit 17. Parker was transported to Sturdy Memorial Hospital for the gunshot wound but did not survive.

Police ask anyone with information on the sedan’s owner or current location to call 781-327-9801.
