LUMBERTON, N.C. -- Robeson County officials have released a surveillance photo of the car linked to a Lumberton road rage shooting on Interstate-95 that left a mother of six dead.

Deputies were called out near the 23-mile marker near I-95 South just before noon Thursday.

On arrival, deputies found Julie Eberly, 47, of Mannheim, Pennsylvania, had been shot through the passenger door. According to authorities, she was headed to the beach with her husband when the shooting happened.

Robeson County investigators learned that the victim's vehicle came close to the suspect's vehicle during a merge into a lane. That's when the suspect pulled next to Eberly and opened fire into her car.

Investigators have identified the shooter's vehicle from surveillance footage.

The vehicle is a silver four-door Chevrolet Malibu that was manufactured between the years of 2008-2013 with North Carolina license plates.

The car has tinted windows and chrome trimming around the window frame.
