A 19-year-old teen was shot and killed by a motorcyclist on the eastbound Highway 10 in Covina early Saturday morning.
The rider of a black Harley-Davidson 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, San Bernardino County, the release said. The medical examiner’s office identified him as Alexander Espino.
Police responded to the attack at 2:16 a.m. and said a male passenger in the Camaro who was not injured helped steer the vehicle to the highway’s Via Verde exit and called 911.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department pronounced Espino dead at the scene.
The CHP closed the highway to investigate Espino’s death and reopened the route around 8 a.m. Saturday.
CHP investigators are working to determine the cause of the shooting and search for a suspect. Any witnesses or anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact CHP Investigator M. Prado at (626) 338-1164, the release said.
