Did you hear the sound of gunshots Nov. 12 on I-24?

If so, you may have information about a road rage situation where someone fired several rounds into a gray Nissan Titan pickup truck.

The Nissan driver was traveling in heavy traffic about 5:05 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 12 on Interstate 24 toward Chattanooga near the Interstate 840 on ramp towards Medical Center, said Rutherford County Sheriff’s Detective Blake Shaw.

“A driver in a dark sedan was cut off,” Shaw said. “That vehicle proceeded to drive erratically and ultimately fired shots at the truck around this location and time.”

Witnesses who saw the shooting may call Crime Stoppers at 615-893-STOP (7867) anonymously. Callers are eligible for a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the shooter.
