A 25-year-old Pittsburg man has been arrested in connection with a freeway shooting that left one person wounded, the California Highway Patrol said.
Kevonte Markee Young is accused of attempted murder, discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle, assault with a firearm, child endangerment, and illegal possession of a firearm, the CHP said.
The highway patrol was alerted about 7:05 p.m. Thursday to the shooting on eastbound Interstate 80 near Pomona Street in Crockett.
“The victim called 911 to report they had been struck in the leg by gunfire after being involved in a road rage incident with a dark blue Mercedes,” police said.
The driver of the Mercedes had pulled to the left of the victim and fired multiple rounds, the highway patrol said. Three children who were in the victim’s vehicle escaped injury.
The victim drove home and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment, police said.
Information provided by the victim was broadcast to law enforcement agencies in the area and the Mercedes was located by officers assigned to the Contra Costa Area CHP office, the highway patrol said.

Hmmm… Imagine that. Illegal possession of a firearm. Obviously we need MORE gun laws because the ones we have are clearly not working.
(Sarcasm intended)
It’s sad I have to explain that. Some people just don’t get it.
I am going to put this as diplomatically as I can. You name your kid “Kevonte Markee” you are setting him up for failure. If the guy’s name was Robert Young he would not be shooting people on the freeway. There were children in the car he shot at.
Except if his name was Robert Young, he would suffer from lifelong depression, and attempt to commit suicide with a garden hose in the tailpipe of his car.😜
Naw, if he was Robert Young he could have been someone.
If you named him Robert Young he would be destined to star in the new sitcom “Marcus Welby returns”.
@MOJO….Or a new sitcom where he has three kids….Princess, Bud and Kitten.

An aspiring rapper?

It’s really crazy the names people come up with these days. Best believe if he ever did make something of his life he would change his name to something normal. If blacks truly believed they were at a disadvantage, they wouldn’t go out of their way to make life worse on their children. So strange. My head hurts.
And SB2 will really protect us against idiots like this. Thank you moron California politicians, you suck!
D. Becton will promote him to city councilman
🚔 Congratulations and Nice Work CHP! 🚓
Queue the people who will blame the injured driver for having been shot at. Nowadays, the victims are blamed for criminals misbehavior.
Yup – more gun laws really help firearms out of the hands of perps … doesn’t state legislature get it? All it does is penalize the law abiding
What happened to gun buybacks?
I object to the description of the suspect as a ‘ man’. ‘Men’ don’t shoot guns on our roads and freeways.
Not at all surprised. The dismantling of our justice system is becoming more and more obvious every day. People like this belong in solitary confinement
All the activist are knashing their teeth and wringing their hands because with a name like “Kevontee etc…” how can you NOT associate the shooter with a specific segment of society???! They will not ask or seek IDs at a gun buyback event – so what good is a gun buyback??? The buybacks event is a PR effort of the likes of Bonta, DeSaulnier, and all the liberals involved!!
