(HOUSTON, TX) - HCSO investigators are releasing a composite sketch of the man who shot and wounded a driver during a 'road rage' incident in north Harris County last Friday.

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned black male in his late 20’s to early 30’s. He has a slim face, is possibly tall, and was wearing a dark blue or black cap. He was driving an older model white SUV, possibly a Suburban or Tahoe.

The incident occurred on Friday, March 20, 2015 at approximately 7:15 a.m.

According to the victim, it started in the 17300 block of the southbound feeder of I-45 and ended in the 16700 block.

The victim told investigators she turned on to the southbound feeder road from Bammel Westfield Rd. Once on the feeder road, she says she was 'cut off' by the suspect. The suspect pulled up next to her yelling for her to roll down her window. The victim continued traveling southbound as she merged onto the entrance ramp to the main lanes of the North Freeway. As she entered the ramp, she heard a loud noise, then felt a pain in the lower back of her head. She was able to pull over, realized she had been shot, and called 911. The suspect continued traveling southbound on the feeder road.

Anyone with any information about this suspect's identity and/or location is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477), or submit a tip via iWatchHarrisCounty.
