A 19-year-old man was shot and killed by a motorcyclist early Saturday morning on the eastbound 10 Freeway in Covina.
The driver of a black Harley Davidson-style motorcycle fired multiple shots into the passenger side of a white Chevrolet Camaro, striking the car and killing the 19-year-old driver, according to a news release from the California Highway Patrol.
The driver was from Bloomington in San Bernardino County, according to the release. He was identified by the medical examiner's office as Alexander Espino.
Police responded to the attack at 2:16 am. A male passenger in the Camaro, who was uninjured, helped drive the car to the highway's Via Verde Street exit and called 911, police said.
Espino was pronounced dead at the scene by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The CHP closed the highway for the investigation into Espino's death, reopening the route around 8 a.m. Saturday.
CHP investigators are determining what sparked the shooting and searching for the suspect. Any witnesses or anyone with more information is encouraged to contact CHP Investigator M. Prado at (626) 338-1164, according to the release.
