Marvin Jacob Lee
Police say Jefferson Heavner, 26, was driving along when he saw a car had spun off the road just after 5 p.m.
Heavner joined a group of neighbors who heard the wreck and they attempted to help the driver, later identified as 27-year-old Marvin Jacob Lee, of Claremont.
Before they knew it, Lee got a gun and opened fire on them.

After Heavner fell to the ground, Lee kept shooting before retreating to his car, police said.
Deputies arrived, and Lee refused to exit his car. An armored car and several officers behind shields eventually convinced Lee to give up.
He has been arrested and charged with murder.
Kristie Ward, a friend of the victim, told WBTV she learned of Heavner's death Friday night. She said Heavner had a child and will be missed greatly.
"All he loved to do was go mudding, hunting, fishing, he was just all-around great person," Ward explained.
