SAN JOSE - Police are investigating a third shooting on Highway 101 in the past four days, but investigators said today they have no evidence the incidents are related.
The latest shooting happened about 3:15 a.m. today in San Jose near the Story Road exit, police said. The victim was driving south when what he described to investigators as an older model, silver luxury sedan with custom rims pulled alongside him.
The driver of the luxury sedan shot the man once in the leg as they approached the Story Road exit in central San Jose, police said.
The man was taken to the hospital. His injury is not considered life-threatening.
Authorities said the other two shootings on Highway 101 since Sunday appeared to involve different vehicles.
The first happened late Sunday, when 25-year-old Londell Wilson of San Mateo was shot to death while driving north in Burlingame.
Police are looking for three cars that were near Wilson's Honda Civic when it hurtled off the freeway and overturned in a drainage ditch.
Those cars were a dark turquoise station wagon, a white four-door sedan and a red or burgundy four-door sedan, all with chrome rims, Burlingame police Sgt. Jim Ford said Tuesday.
Witnesses described the station wagon and the red sedan as "show quality," cars that have been modified to compete in auto shows, Ford said.
"We're interested in talking to the drivers," Ford said Tuesday. "I would say they are vehicles of interest."
One witness said the three cars were traveling at the same speed and "were all together" as they approached Wilson's Honda, Ford said.
Exactly what happened next is unclear, but Wilson was shot once in the upper torso before his car crashed.
Investigators are exploring whether one of more of the vehicles may have boxed Wilson in...

Cut & Run NOW!
Ban guns, bullets, and chrome custom wheels!
Three time's the charm.
My guess is gang intitiation from future members in Salinas. John Steinbeck would be saddened if he knew what was to become of Salinas. Very scary stuff.
Yeah, I love the way the media always tries to make gang retaliation shootings look like random acts - sells more papers, I guess...”You could be NEXT!!!” ;)
I am not sure how long these guys would last in Texas, but it would be a short time until they were gunned down by the supposed victim.
Would not be a good idea in this state.
Hey Phil Donahue, want to venture a guess on the Ethnicity of the sniper?
ah but look how Cannery Row turned out!
Translation: low-rider Lincoln Town Car or Cadillac De Ville.
From the source at link:
No suspects have been named in any of the three shootings, and witness descriptions of the possible shooters vary.
Burlingame police described the occupants of the three cars near Wilson's Honda at the time of the crash as African American, Tongan or Samoan men in their 20s. The BMW driver described the man who shot him as an African American man in his 30s, the CHP said. San Jose police have not released a description of the shooter in their case.
I predict a sudden outbreak of civility on the roads in the Bay Area. The passive aggressive garbage that goes on in that area is unbelievable.
For myself, I can’t believe how relaxed I’ve become while driving since leaving there.
I am thinking of a brassy song by the group War. Same-o, same-o.
More gun control means more gun violence. California is a very strict gun-control state. The victim can't shoot back because his gun has to be home, unloaded, and locked up with the ammo stored elsewhere. If a victim shot back, he'd be locked up forever.
I guess they figure the criminals don't know that. /s
Funny, I was thinking about an oldie by The Diamonds about a guy in a Black Leather Jacket and Motorcycle Boots....
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best!
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101....

Hmmmm. That’s the closest 101 offramp to me...
Salinas could recover if we would deport all illegal aliens.
Teenagers wouldn’t be crowded out of first jobs. Welfare recipients would find they can make more working than not. Automation would take over the truly undesirable jobs...
Agreed. No more excuses...just enforce the laws and build the fence.
I want my country back.
Yes and no. There are some ridiculous statewide laws, and restrictive local officials. But in more rural counties, carry permits are basically "shall-issue."
