Con Ed Worker Fatally Shot in George Washington Bridge Road Rage Incident Remembered as Devoted Family Man

Koran Irvine, a 46-year-old Con Edison worker and father of two, was fatally shot on the George Washington Bridge late Tuesday in what authorities are describing as a road rage incident. Irvine was traveling on the New Jersey-bound upper level of the bridge around 7:15 p.m. when he was struck by a bullet in the shoulder, according to police and family members.

Family members on Wednesday remembered Irvine as a dedicated "family man" who "lived his life 100% for his family" and was a devoted fan of the New York Jets. A cousin told The Post that Irvine was a loving husband and father, noting the strong bond he shared with his wife and children.

"From just their dynamic and how you would experience it in person, you just felt that love in the air," the relative said. "They really loved each other. They were a special couple."

Friends and relatives also described Irvine as a "jokester" who always sought to bring laughter and positivity to those around him. "He is always the light of the party," one relative stated. "He had so much life, was very attentive to everyone, always wanted to know people’s needs. He was so inviting."

Irvine, who resided in Valley Cottage, Rockland County, had recently experienced the loss of his mother but maintained a positive outlook, according to family. "Even when his mom passed away a few years ago, he was obviously going through a difficult time, but never made it about himself," the relative added.

Law enforcement officials reported that a person of interest surrendered to authorities less than 24 hours after the shooting and was being questioned on Wednesday afternoon.
