“On July 8th at 8 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a shooting on Athens Avenue in Lincoln. When deputies arrived, they found a female victim sitting next to her car with a gunshot wound to the leg.

The victim and suspect had been in a road rage incident, resulting in the suspect shooting at the victim’s car, subsequently striking the victim in the leg. The victim was able to get a picture of the suspect’s car before it sped away.

On July 9th in the late afternoon, a Woodland Police Officer pulled over the suspect’s vehicle on Interstate 5 South near Pioneer Street. The driver was identified as 22-year old Andre Lepe of Woodland.

A Placer County Sheriff’s detective responded and searched the car. She found a loaded Glock 27 belonging to Lepe in an unzipped backpack sitting on the front passenger seat; she also found 90 bullets throughout the vehicle.

Lepe was positively identified as the suspect from the shooting on Athens Avenue. Lepe was arrested for discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and assault with a firearm.”
