why? ugh.

Holding hands and breaking down in tears, a grieving family pleaded for help Sunday in finding the man who stabbed and killed Cody M. Harter, a Missouri Air National Guard member, during an act of road rage this past weekend in Lee's Summit.

Cody Harter, 23, of St. Joseph was fatally stabbed about 7:30 p.m. Saturday along northbound Missouri 291 at the merger of Interstate 470 in Lee's Summit.

The family was grateful for the motorists who stopped and tried to help him and made sure he was not alone.

"My son did not die alone, even though whoever did this you left him out there to die alone," said Kerri Harter.

Police are still trying to piece together what happened on Saturday evening.

Drivers alerted police to the area after seeing Harter stumbling into traffic. When officers arrived, they found Harter collapsed on the road with a stab wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A preliminary investigation indicates that Harter had gotten into some type of confrontation with another man while in traffic on northbound Missouri 291 south of the merger with I-470, according to Sgt. Chris Depue, a spokesman for the Lee's Summit Police Department.

Witnesses told police they saw two vehicles on the shoulder and two men arguing, Depue said.

At one point, the men went onto the shoulder behind the vehicles, and that's when police believe Harter was stabbed. Harter then stumbled to the front of the vehicle and collapsed into traffic, Depue said.

"We think it's truly just one of those stupid incidents of road rage where someone lost their temper and did something really stupid," Depue said.

Road rage makes people do stupid shit and make bad decisions, no one thinks rationally when they get road rage.

I remember in drivers ed we watched a video about some pastor who practically ran some kid off the road got out of his car grabbed a cross bow from the trunk and planted an arrow in the kids chest all because he flashed his brights at some lady in front of him. Not even the pastor just some other lady. Crazy.
