(LOS ANGELES) A suspect was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly shooting at a number of cars with BB guns on a Los Angeles freeway. Investigators are now trying to determine if the same suspect is linked to dozens of similar recent shootings on Southern California highways.
Authorities believe the suspect was using either BB or pellet guns to shatter car windows and terrorize motorists.
The California Highway Patrol and Riverside Police Department arrested Jesse Leal Rodriguez, 34, of Anaheim, for a series of recent shootings on State Route 91. An investigation continues into a more widespread series of BB gun shootings in Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties in recent months.
EL CENTRO – Capt. Scott Laverty, 49, has been appointed as the new captain of the California Highway Patrol El Centro Area, according to a CHP release.
