When officers got to the area they talked to one person who said they heard two gun shots in the area. Two shell casings were located near the intersection of 2nd St and West Kern Avenue. A victim later contacted MPD advising their vehicle was shot at.

During the argument, the suspect threatened to kill the victim. After the argument, the victim left the area while the suspect vehicle followed. Once at the intersection of 2nd St and West Kern Avenue the driver of the suspet vehicle fired at least two shots at the victim's vehicle. The suspect took off westbound on 2nd Street.
