CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A driver was shot in an apparent road rage incident along a busy road near Wegmans in Midlothian on Saturday afternoon, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
Chesterfield Police were called to Midlothian Turnpike and Stone Village Way just after 5:15 p.m. for a report of a shooting, according to emergency communications logs.
Officers said their preliminary investigation found that the victim and suspect were involved in "some kind of road rage interaction" as they drove west on Midlothian Turnpike toward the intersection with Walmart Way.
"Sources are telling me a man was driving down the road... He was on the phone with a loved one... and she heard shots fired and called police," Burkett said. "My sources tell me the guy that was driving this car [red Honda] was hit multiple times."
Police said the suspect, who was driving a white Nissan Altima, pulled up next to the red Honda in the 12200 block of Midlothian Turnpike and opened fire on the victim’s vehicle.
Officers said the driver suffered an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Burkett said forensics officers were gathering evidence from the Honda in the turn lane into Stone Village across from Wegmans.
"You can see the windows have been shot out or have marks where the shooting happened on both sides of the car," Burkett said.
The white Nissan Altima was last seen continuing to drive west on Midlothian Turnpike, according to police.
Officers said their investigation into the crime is ongoing.
Anyone with information about the case was urged to call Chesterfield County Police at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
