Driver shot dead on 15 Freeway after Victorville confrontation

Last Updated on February 25, 2022 by CCAR Staff

A possible road-rage incident escalated into a fatal roadside shooting on the 15 Freeway in Victorville on Thursday, Feb. 24, and now the California Highway Patrol is hunting for the killer.

The investigation shut down the freeway in both directions.

The confrontation between the driver of a black GMC SUV and the driver of an unidentified sedan happened at about 7:45 p.m. in the northbound lanes south of Nisqualli Road. As they approached the Nisqualli offramp, they stopped on the right shoulder. The SUV driver, a man, got out.  So did the driver of the sedan, who fired several shots at the SUV driver, the CHP said.

The driver of the SUV was struck by the bullets and died. The shooter drove away, exiting at Nisqualli.

No additional description of the shooter or his car was immediately available Friday morning. The victim’s name has not been publicly announced.

The CHP asks anyone with information on the shooting to call Officer Kavert at 909-806-2484.
