CHP officers located multiple ammunition casings within the roadway.
Based on witness statements and evidence located at the scene, investigators determined that gunfire from a 9mm firearm came from the front passenger side of a dark-colored sedan traveling in the #2 lane, CHP said. The suspect's car is believed to be a Dodge Charger or a Challenger.
Around the same time, investigators say a man was shot while he was in his backyard just south of the 10 Freeway and near the location of the freeway shooting. The victim was taken to the hospital in stable condition. They're working to determine if this is connected to the 605 Freeway shooting.
Meanwhile, authorities responded to another report of a freeway shooting, about 15 miles away.
This incident happened at about 10:15 p.m. on the 57 Freeway South, near Via Verde in San Dimas.
