Deadly road rage shooting in broad daylight shuts down 5 Freeway for hours, CHP says
LA TimesA white sheet drapes part of a bullet-pocked car on the 5 Freeway as officials investigate a fatal shooting Thursday near Lorena Street. For more than eight hours Thursday night, northbound lanes of the 5 Freeway in Boyle Heights remained closed as authorities investigated an apparent road rage shooting that occurred during rush hour traffic, killing one person and injuring another. Two vehicles, a gold Cadillac and another described only as a dark-colored SUV, were involved in a road rage incident, chasing each other on the freeway before the Cadillac crashed into an uninvolved third vehicle, the CHP said. Former Times photojournalist Bryan Chan drove past the scene of the incident on the southbound 5 Freeway around 5 p.m. Thursday where northbound traffic had ground to a halt. Aerial video captured by KTLA-TV showed first responders on the freeway beside a white Tesla, which had damage to the front driver’s side, and the Cadillac with significant damage.
