A man who was shot in a possible road-rage incident in Ives Estates on Thursday drove himself to a hospital where he said his car was stolen, authorities said.
The victim told authorities that he was shot by an unknown person while driving in the area of Ives Dairy Road and Northeast 15th Avenue around 6:15 p.m., Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officials said.
A woman’s car was also struck, but that driver wasn’t injured.
The sheriff’s office said the shooting was “possibly road rage related.”
The man, who was shot in the upper back, was able to drive himself to Jackson North Medical Center, where he was treated and in stable condition, authorities said. Later, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took him to HCA Aventura Hospital, also in stable condition.
The sheriff’s office also said that the victim alleged that his car was parked outside the hospital when “an unknown subject entered his vehicle and manage to drive away in an unknown direction.”
Authorities have not provided any information about a possible suspect in the shooting or car theft.
MDSO General Investigations Unit detectives have assumed the investigation and are actively investigating.
