FORT LEE, NJ – A retired police officer surrendered to authorities Wednesday in connection with the deadly shooting of a 46-year-old Con Edison worker on the George Washington Bridge, marking a major break in an investigation into what police suspect may have been a road-rage killing.

The retired officer turned himself in less than 24 hours after Koran Irvin, a Rockland County resident and father of two, was fatally shot Tuesday evening while driving westbound toward New Jersey, PIX11 reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Authorities had not publicly identified the retired officer or announced charges as of Wednesday afternoon.

The development follows reports that surveillance footage captured a near-collision between Irvin's vehicle and another driver on a ramp leading to the bridge's westbound upper level shortly after 7 p.m.

Investigators have been examining whether the close call sparked a confrontation that turned deadly.

Irvin, who was off duty from his job at Con Edison, was driving a blue Volkswagen Golf when he was shot. His vehicle subsequently crashed on the bridge, prompting emergency calls initially reporting a single-vehicle accident.

Port Authority police responding to the crash discovered Irvin unconscious and suffering from a gunshot wound.

Early reports indicated he had been shot in the head, but PIX11 reported Wednesday that authorities identified the wound as being to his right shoulder.

Irvin was rushed to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The shooting shut down the westbound upper level of the George Washington Bridge for approximately six hours Tuesday night, causing major traffic disruptions before lanes reopened around 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Irvin leaves behind a wife and two children.

A GoFundMe established for his family described him as a man “full of life, love, and dedication to the people who meant the most to him.”

Con Edison also mourned the longtime worker.

“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of a member of the Con Edison family in this senseless act of violence. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who knew and loved him,” a company spokesperson said.

Police have not confirmed what led to the shooting, and the circumstances surrounding the retired officer's reported surrender remain under investigation.
