A strange freeway shooting

710  That freeway shooting that killed a 25-year-old man on the 710 in East L.A. keeps getting more troubling the more we learn. Turns out the shooting actually occurred on the shoulder when the victim arrived to help his girlfriend fix a tire:

Deputy Luis Castro said the suspect approached the victim about 10:20 last night, while he was pulled over on the northbound 710 near 3rd Street to help his girlfriend change a flat tire. "While he was changing that tire, the suspect drove up in a ’93 to ’95 Nissan Altima, asked the victim if he needed help changing the tire, and the victim said no," Castro said. "And at that time, for some unknown reason, (he) brought out a gun and started shooting the victim, killing him right there." The victim, who died at a hospital, was identified as Paul Michael Miller, 25, of Bell Gardens, according to Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner’s office. (CNS)
