A non-injury freeway shooting rattled a driver on the congested veins of East Bay roadways, leading the California Highway Patrol to appeal to the public for any leads. The incident, which unfolded around 4:00 p.m. on April 11, was initially reported to have taken place eastbound on I-580, just shy of Seminary Ave, but was later confirmed to occur southbound on SR-13, south of Redwood Street, as per the victim's account.
Responding to the report, officers made their way to the victim’s home only to find a vehicle wearing its wound – a shattered rear window with a small single-entry hole. This subtle mark, according to authorities, suggests that a BB, pellet, or Airsoft gun may have been used. The victim, who was fortunately not injured, described the harrowing ordeal as stemming from a road rage squabble with a suspect in a silver or gray four-door sedan. During this confrontation, the victim claimed to have seen a black handgun aimed intentionally at them and heard what sounded like three metal-impacting shots against the vehicle's back window, as detailed on the CHP Oakland Instagram page.
The description of the suspect points to a light-skinned white male or Hispanic male with long hair. In light of this event, the California Highway Patrol is urgently piecing together the circumstances, casting a net for information that may flow from the well of public knowledge.
