Jonathan Rivera is facing another charge in connection to the incident that left a 6-year-old girl injured.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man charged in connection to a road rage shooting that injured a six-year-old is now facing federal charges.

The U.S. Attorneys Office said a federal grand jury indicted Jonathan Rivera for possession of a gun by a convicted felon.

Rivera is also facing state charges in the case.

Onyx Sands, 6, was shot in the back in what police said was a road rage shooting on I-65.

Investigators said a gun found in Rivera’s waistband matched shell casings at the shooting scene.
