A road rage incident left a car with two bullet holes Saturday night in Seattle.
According to the Washington State Patrol (WSP), the incident took place around 7:30 p.m. The victim said he was exiting I-90 and heading southbound on I-405 when the driver of a late-model black BMW SUV began harassing him before opening fire, striking his vehicle twice.
The victim told authorities the driver of the BMW initially tried to run him off the road. As he accelerated in an attempt to get away from the BMW, the suspect used the shoulder of the highway to pass him. The driver of the BMW then braked him before moving parallel to the victim and firing several shots. The victim fled after destroying the scene.
No injuries were sustained during the incident, but WSP Trooper Rick Johnson is asking for help locating the BMW.
“If you saw this black SUV flying down I-405 and you get any identifying information from it, then we want to hear from you,” Johnson told KIRO Newsradio.
Concretely, the vehicle in question is a black BMW X-5 without a license plate. The suspect was described as a white juvenile, wearing a white t-shirt. The victim was driving a red Ford Mustang with a black hood.
If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle involved, call 911.
