The victim was hit in the head and crashed, causing property damage to a home, police said.
A local resident, along with others, saw what happened and rushed to help the victim.
“I was walking outside my apartment I saw basically I think it was a road rage incident,” witness David Martinez said. “A couple shots and saw them crash into the building. I saw the young man get shot. A young lady screaming help help. Went to go stabilize him. He got shot in the head. Me and another neighbor helped push the fence away so they could get to him.”
