LOS ANGELES—Authorities Friday continued their efforts to find suspects involved in a fatal car-to-car, road rage shooting on the Santa Ana (5) Freeway in the Boyle Heights area that triggered a freeway closure and snarled traffic during the Thursday evening rush hour.
The shooting was reported on the northbound freeway north of Grande Vista Avenue around 4:10 p.m. Thursday, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
“Preliminary investigation suggests a gold Cadillac sedan and possibly a dark colored Sport Utility Vehicle were involved in a road rage incident,” the CHP said in a statement Friday morning.
“The involved vehicles were seen chasing each other, prior to the Cadillac rear-ending an uninvolved vehicle. At this time, two … male adults were [seen] exiting the SUV with weapons, and opened fire on the Cadillac’s occupants,” the CHP statement said. “The driver of the Cadillac was able to make a U-turn and drove wrong way on Interstate 5, traveling southbound in the northbound traffic lanes. Both occupants of the Cadillac sustained gunshot wounds and the passenger succumbed to his injuries on scene. The driver was transported to a local hospital for treatment.”…
