In August 2014, state attorneys said the two victims were driving down Touchton Road near Southside Boulevard when Lee pulled up behind them.

Lee got out of his vehicle and shot several times at the victims in their car, state attorneys said.

The victims were able to flee to a nearby gas station to call for help while Lee fled the scene.

Lee will be sentenced the week of Nov. 16.
