A driver who allegedly shot at another vehicle on Interstate Highway 580 near the Altamont Pass this week was later arrested in San Leandro, the California Highway Patrol said Thursday.
The shooting was reported shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday on I-580 between Flynn and Grant Line roads.
The victim, who was driving a Tesla Model 3, told officers that the driver of a red GMC Yukon fired a handgun at him at least five times.
The gunfire didn’t hit the victim or his car, the CHP said. A description of the suspect’s SUV was shared with other law enforcement agencies and license plate reader cameras helped track down the vehicle, which was eventually located by San Leandro police.
A loaded gun was allegedly found inside the SUV and the suspect was taken into custody and booked at Santa Rita Jail. The shooting is still under investigation by the CHP’s Dublin Area and the Golden Gate Division Special Investigation Unit.
