ROYAL OAK (WWJ) -- Michigan State Police are trying to find a gunman who fired shots at a driver on the ramp from I-75 to I-696 in Royal Oak.

The victim told troopers the suspect cut him off while trying to get onto the ramp to westbound I-696 at around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

As the two vehicles were side-by-side, the victim reported the suspect opened his door and fired several shots. Investigators found two bullet holes in the victim's car, MSP said.

There were no injuries reported.

State Police said the suspect was described as "a black man with dreads."

The investigation is ongoing.

“This is another example of a dispute being settled with a handgun,” said MSP First Lt. Mike Shaw, in a statement. “Detectives are currently using technology in the area to attempt to identify the driver of the Jeep. This caller did the right thing by making themselves safe and notifying 911 as soon as possible.”

Anyone who may have seen something should call Michigan State Police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP (1-800-773-2587).
