A Sacramento man is in custody after shooting at four vehicles during Wednesday morning commute. CHP says the attacks appear random.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento man accused of opening fire on multiple vehicles along local freeways during Wednesday morning’s commute is in custody and expected to face several felony charges.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said 33-year-old Raymond Calderon of Sacramento was arrested after investigators say he fired at several vehicles across Sacramento-area freeways. Investigators now confirm that a total of four vehicles were hit by gunfire.

Calderon is expected to face multiple charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, assault with a firearm, evading police, and driving under the influence of drugs.

CHP said the first shooting occurred just after 5:30 a.m. Wednesday near Highway 160 and Northgate Boulevard. 

One victim was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. Investigators have not identified any known relationship between Calderon and the victims, and the incident appears to be a random act of violence, according to the CHP Valley Division.

Parts of Highway 160 and Interstate 5 near downtown Sacramento were temporarily shut down as investigators searched for evidence. 

CHP emphasized that these closures are often necessary to ensure a thorough investigation and to preserve evidence.

Authorities recovered two firearms following Calderon’s arrest, which are being tested to determine whether they were used in the shootings. 

The Sacramento County jail records show Calderon is not eligible for bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 6.

The CHP Valley Division Major Crimes Unit continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact CHP investigators.
