The victim told officers that Bowers had almost run into her vehicle with his vehicle while she was driving in the 1800 block of Joanna Avenue, Henderson said.

The woman had pulled over to the side of the road to avoid a collision when Bowers also pulled over. Both exited their vehicles and began arguing before physically fighting.

Henderson said that Bowers returned to his vehicle, retrieved a handgun and fired one round at the victim before fleeing in his vehicle.

The victim followed Bowers to the 2100 block of Gabriel Avenue and observed him exit his vehicle and run into an apartment.

Officers surrounded the apartment and were able to talk Bowers into exiting the apartment and surrendering to them.
