CANYON COUNTRY, Calif. -- Sheriff's detectives are searching for a driver who allegedly shot at another car carrying a family of four in Canyon Country.

The family's Cadillac Escalade was traveling westbound on Soledad Canyon Road around 6:30 p.m. Monday at the time of the incident, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said in a press release.

Authorities said the driver of the Cadillac used her windshield washer nozzles to wash her windshield. Shortly after, a man in a gray Honda Civic pulled up alongside her and motioned for her to roll her window down.

When she lowered her window, the suspect apparently yelled at her for getting his new car wet, sheriff's officials said.

The driver of the Cadillac told authorities that she apologized and rolled her window back up.

Video taken from a car's dash cam captured the suspect pulling out a handgun and firing at least two rounds, hitting the Cadillac's tires.

The suspect then speed off heading westbound on Soledad Canyon Road in his Honda, which investigators said had paper plates.

If you have any information about this incident, you're urged to contact Detective Welch at (661) 255-1121 ext. 5131.
