A road rage incident in Santa Ana on Wednesday afternoon resulted in a shooting and an arrest.

According to Natalie Garcia, public information officer for the SAPD, officers responded to reports of a hooting in the area of First Street and Lyon Street in Santa Ana at around 1:03 p.m. They found a 49-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his legs.

A Orange County Fire Authority crew took the man to a local hospital in critical condition. After receiving medical care, his condition stabilized.

The preliminary investigation indicated that a GMC Sierra and a Honda Civic were moving westbound on First Street near Lyon when the incident took place.

The Sierra stopped and its driver got out and walked up to the driver’s side door of the Honda, which had been parked behind it.

A “physical alteration” ensued and the driver of the Sierra was hit with gunfire several times. The Honda then left the area.

Employing the Automated License Plate Reader, authorities were able to locate the suspect vehicle in Garden Grove.

The unoccupied vehicle was towed and a suspect – identified as Jesse Vega, 24, of Santa Ana – was arrested and booked into Orange County Jail.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the SAPD at (714) 245-8390.
