An investigation is underway after a motorcyclist was found fatally shot on an off-ramp of the 14 Freeway in Lancaster, authorities say.

LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) -- A motorcyclist was fatally shot on a freeway off-ramp in Lancaster Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol received reports just before 3 p.m. of a motorcyclist possibly shot at the Avenue L off-ramp of the 14 Freeway.

CHP believes gunfire erupted when the motorcyclist and the suspect vehicle were stopped on the off-ramp.

Further details were not immediately released, but the shooting reportedly happened after some sort of dispute between the two parties.

Authorities said the victim died at the scene.

The suspect vehicle was last seen fleeing eastbound on Avenue L.

CHP cordoned off the area and shut down the off-ramp. The 14 Freeway remained open during the investigation.
