ATLANTA — Atlanta Police are searching for someone who shot a man while driving on the downtown connector at 17th Street early Tuesday morning.

APD said the victim was driving on the highway around 1 a.m. when a driver in another car shot at him because he refused to race his car.

Officials told Channel 2′s Larry Spruill that someone in a silver Audi pulled up to the victim who was driving a red Dodge Charger on I-75/I-85. The driver of the Audi attempted to race the victim, but he said no.

Police said the suspect then shot into the victim’s car and sped off.

Officials are asking anyone with any information on the incident to contact Atlanta police.
