Road rage was suspected to have been behind the shooting.         

Investigators were later able to identify the suspect as 21-year-old West Sacramento resident Timothy Lee Allen. He was served a search warrant and authorities say a gun and several hundred rounds of ammunition was seized – and spent ammunition was also allegedly found in Allen's car.

Allen has been arrested and was booked into Sacramento County Jail on charges including attempted murder.

CHP says they suspect Allen was also involved in other road rage shooting incidents recently. A photo of Allen's car has been released.

Anyone who believes they were possibly a victim is urged to contact CHP's tip line at (916) 731-6580.
