AUSTIN, Texas — A new image released by the Austin Police Department reveals the possible suspect vehicle in an apparent road rage incident.
APD is offering up to $1,000 in the search for a suspect after they say two drivers began arguing at the intersection of East Seventh and Red River streets on Sept. 2.
Police said they were handling a separate incident when they heard gunshots and found a person who was bleeding. The victim was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, and APD has since learned new information on a possible suspect.
Officers are searching for a man who was previously seen wearing a gold chain necklace, light, ripped jeans and a black T-shirt. Police said he has short hair or a shaved head. They also believe the suspect was with two other men in a newer silver or gray Chevrolet Malibu without a front license plate.
The shooter drove near the victim -who was driving in a separate vehicle- and the front passenger shot at them several times, according to the release.
An officer on scene that morning said the suspect fled the area after the shooting, and the search continues more than a week later.
