Ernest Wesley Heinz, a 46‑year‑old actor with minor credits in The Sopranos, J. Edgar, and as a face model for the Resident Evil video games, has been arrested and charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault after a dramatic road‑rage incident in Galloway Township, New Jersey. According to police, Heinz cut off Maritza Arias‑Galva in traffic near Stockton University, cut her off again, and as they stopped at a red light, he allegedly yelled threats, then fired a single shot through his car window that struck her in the face. The victim, who was wounded in the nose, managed to call 911 and provide a description of Heinz and his vehicle — a white Honda SUV. Authorities later located Heinz at a residence in the Blue Heron Pines development, and he is now being held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility awaiting further legal proceedings. The incident triggered a campus lockdown lasting several hours until a search for Heinz ended with his capture. Arias‑Galva is in stable condition and being treated at a hospital; no life‑threatening injuries were reported.
