Following an argument between drivers early Friday morning, one driver reportedly pulled out a gun and shot at the other motorist, striking him in the cheek, police said.
The injury did not appear to be life threatening, but the victim, a 37-year-old man, was taken to St. John Medical Center for treatment after the shooting, according to police reports.
The suspect's vehicle was reportedly tailgating the victim's car for several blocks in the area of 2100 South Lewis Avenue about 1:48 a.m. Friday, police said.
Both cars stopped and the occupants then had a verbal confrontation, according to police reports.
The victims then got back into their vehicle and began to drive off, when the suspect fired several shots at the rear of the car, police said.
Police said the suspect was driving a dark-colored, older Toyota Celica.
