Police identified the suspect involved in a car-to-car shooting on a Southern California freeway that wounded a man Monday afternoon, authorities said.
Jerry Valentin, 32, of Scottsdale, Ariz., was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with shooting a man three times in the arm near the 91 and 5 freeway interchange Monday afternoon, the Fullerton Police Department said.
The victim, who police have not identified, followed the suspect until officers took him into custody, the Anaheim Police Department said.
Both vehicles continued on the eastbound 91 Freeway before stopping near the Weir Canyon Road exit in Anaheim Hills.
The California Highway Patrol said the victim stayed on the phone with dispatchers for about 10 miles as he pursued the other vehicle until officers came to help.
The victim, a man in his 50s, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. He told NBC4 he was shot three times in the arm.
The victim said he didn't know why he was targeted, but was the "total victim" in the shooting.
