It started as a drive-by shooting on a mostly deserted stretch of the 101 Freeway about 3:15 a.m.Despite the early hour, the Los Angeles Police Department received several reports of shots fired. They found a car on the center median just east of downtown Los Angeles specked with bullet holes, its 25-year-old driver clinging to life. The southbound freeway was closed — and remained closed for nearly eight hours, making the morning commute a nightmare.

The car was so new that it did not have regular license plates; it had temporary paper tags, which read “Dream.” The car was not registered to the driver, Vernon said, but that may be because it had just been bought.
