Troopers are investigating two separate shootings on Hillsborough County roads over the weekend.
The first incident happened just before 11 p.m. Friday, when a 25-year-old Tampa woman driving a Hyundai Veloster north on Interstate 75 spotted an erratic driver in a 2000s model Honda CR-V, according to a news release from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The Honda veered into the woman’s lane and she honked her horn to alert the driver, who fired at least one round at the Hyundai, hitting its right rear door, troopers said.
The woman drove away and called law enforcement. Troopers recovered the bullet from her door. The woman and her two passengers, a 23-year-old Tampa man and a 1-year-old child, were not injured in the shooting.
The shooter was described as “a 25-year to 35-year-old heavy-set African American male with a short beard,” according to the release.
The second shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 4.
A 34-year-old St. Petersburg man driving a Honda CR-V west near the Interstate 275 interchange saw a group of motorcyclists driving erratically with another unidentified vehicle, troopers said
The Honda driver began recording the motorcyclists with a cell phone. One of the motorcyclists fired several rounds from a handgun at the car. The driver was not injured.
The shooter was described as a white man “with a medium build and wearing a jacket with a ‘Outlaws MC’ logo,” according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.
Troopers asked anyone with information regarding either incident to call *FHP (*347) or send a tip through Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
