The former NYPD detective accused of shooting and killing a man on the George Washington Bridge in a horrific road rage attack sped away in a Range Rover owned by his hedge fund employer, according to a report.

Victor Romero, 62, is facing charges relating to the killing of Con Edison worker Koran Irvine, 46, on the bridge Tuesday evening. Romero previously worked as an NYPD detective.

Prosecutors say he was driving in an employer-owned SUV at the time of the shooting. He worked as a driver and private security guard for QVT Financial, a biotech and energy investment firm, the New York Post reported.

Romero had been working as a driver for the company's CEO, Dan Gold, according to the outlet.

"We are aware of the press reports concerning Victor Romero and are cooperating with the authorities in this matter," QVT Financial said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Romero appeared in court on Thursday and a judge granted the DA's request to set his bond at $1 million. He is facing a first-degree manslaughter charge.

In court, Assistant District Attorney Matthew Sears alleged the encounter began when Romero and Irvine nearly collided as they approached the bridge — a moment captured on surveillance video.

Video shows Romero tailgating Irvine’s car closely and aggressively as both crossed the span.

Prosecutors said Romero then quickly pulled to the right side of Irvine's moving vehicle and fired a single shot from his driver’s seat. The bullet pierced the rear passenger window of Irvine’s car, striking him in the right shoulder and causing his death.

Surveillance footage shows Irvine’s vehicle abruptly lurching into the far-right lane and coming to a stop in the middle of active traffic.

Video evidence and vehicle registration records confirmed the SUV driven by Romero was owned by his employer and assigned directly to him.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Romero's attorney, Alan Abramson, for comment.

A New York man was arrested after he was allegedly captured on video stealing campaign signs belonging to Republican congressional candidate Anthony Constantino while driving his employer’s vehicle.

Josef Marris was charged with two counts of criminal possession of stolen property, according to the Essex County Sheriff’s Office. He was also fired from East Branch Organics, according to Constantino’s campaign.

Constantino, who is running in New York’s 21st Congressional District, said the alleged thefts were intended to intimidate his supporters.

"My campaign has lost more than $100,000 to sign theft and vandalism," Constantino told Fox News Digital. "There are now multiple attempts to intimidate my supporters by people who are clearly pro-crime and pro-violence. The media needs to stop pretending this is a both-sides problem."

Constantino’s campaign alleged that Marris carried out the thefts on behalf of Democratic candidate Blake Gendebien. Gendebien’s campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Constantino also criticized Gendebien in a post on X, writing that the Democrat "is surrounded by FAR LEFT EXTREMISTS."

Marris has described himself as a communist and an Antifa supporter, according to social media posts reviewed by Fox News Digital. In April 2023, he posted an image of the three-arrow symbol, which has historically been associated with several socialist and anti-fascist movements.

The symbol alone does not establish that Marris is a member of Antifa or that Gendebien’s campaign had any connection to the alleged thefts.

The incident comes as Gendebien leads Constantino in a closely watched race to succeed retiring Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., in the 21st Congressional District.
