The caller said the white car then left I-580 using the Seminary exit and was headed to Seminary Avenue.
Investigators responded to the area and found no victims, and no other 911 calls were received in connection to the shooting.
The CHP said the dash cam led investigators to 32-year-old Dominic Jerome Taylor of San Leandro.
CHP officers pulled him over on April 12 in Oakland. During the stop, officers began to suspect Jerome may be driving under the influence.
He was then arrested on suspicion of DUI, DUI w/ BAC over .08, willful discharge of a firearm with negligence, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, driving while having a suspended license and driving without an ignition interlock device.
