Authorities say 48-year-old Robert Krumlauf has been killed and a second man was taken to the hospital after a crash in Sunnyslope late Thursday night.

Authorities responded around 10:30 p.m. to a gas station near 11th Avenue and Hatcher Road.

Police say the incident most likely started with road rage and led to an argument in a Circle K parking lot. Two men began arguing and ended up fighting on the ground. At one point one of the men used a pellet gun to hit the other. 

Eventually a woman, 29-year-old Jenna Keller, moved to the driver’s seat in one of the vehicles and hit both of the men. She allegedly told police she did it to try to stop the fight.

The second man, Keller's boyfriend in his 30's, was taken to the hospital in serious condition. 

Police say Keller has been detained and will be booked on DUI and homicide charges.

Another person was also detained for taking the pellet gun and leaving the scene. That person could be charged for tampering with a crime scene.
