Two days after a driver was shot and killed on Interstate 95 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the search continues for the gunman and some questions remain unanswered.
The driver of a dark-colored, possibly black sedan traveling southbound on I-95 just before 10 p.m. Saturday fired multiple rounds into a black Mercedes, killing 37-year-old Justin Parker, according to the Norfolk District Attorney's Office.

Parker's car then hit a silver Lexus, which crashed into the woods. He was taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital, where he died.

The family inside the Lexus wasn't seriously hurt, the district attorney's office said.
Friends say Parker was a father and lived in North Attleborough with his daughter. They can't believe what happened, or that the gunman is still out there.
"The fact that it happened while they were driving, that's what's crazy to me," one of Parker's friends told NBC10 Boston over the phone. "I know he's trying to be a good father. I feel terrible for what happened."
Authorities haven't shared any information on what's believed to have led to the shooting.
The district attorney's office issued a plea on Monday for any dashcam or other video footage anyone might have captured between 9 and 10 p.m. along the I-95 corridor from Waltham to the Rhode Island line, or along the Route 3/Interstate 93 corridor from Boston or Weymouth, thorugh Milton and Canton to I-95 south.
The driver is believed to have merged from one of those directions onto I-95 south around 9:20 p.m.
"We are asking truck drivers, rideshare drivers, or anyone who employs a dash cam or who might otherwise have captured footage along those roadways during that time frame to contact us at 781-327-9801," Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey said in a statement. "We have developed certain information that may help us to identify distinctive features on the car driven by the shooter."
Additional detail on the possible appearance of the car is not being published outside of law enforcement, but Morrissey said that could happen as the investigation proceeds.
"We are not asking people to go back through their video footage themselves and make determinations of any kind – we are asking them to call so that we can arrange to have police view the footage," Morrissey said. "Given where we are in the investigation, this could lead to identifying the shooter who killed Justin R. Parker."
