Long Beach Police are looking into whether road rage may have triggered a car-to-car shooting that resulted in a 30-year-old Cerritos man being shot in the face in North Long Beach Tuesday morning.
The shooting occurred at about 11:30 a.m. as both cars were traveling south on Atlantic Avenue, nearing Harding Street, said Nancy Pratt, an LBPD spokeswoman.
Earlier in the day, an update sent by the Chief's office said the cars were traveling in the opposite direction but that was not correct.
Witnesses said a passenger in one car opened fire on the other car, hitting the Cerritos man in the face.
The suspect's car was last seen fleeing west on Harding.
The victim was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and released the same day.
