A suspect has been arrested in a May 21 shooting incident on southbound I-43 at Rosedale Avenue, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said.

Jomuel Lozano-Martinez, 27, is charged with discharging a firearm into a vehicle, first-degree recklessly endangering safety with use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, all with potential sentence enhancers for being a habitual offender.

He is being held in the Milwaukee County Jail.

Lozano-Martinez was arrested after the U.S. Marshals Service received a tip about him, the sheriff's office said in a news release.

According to the sheriff's office, a citizen stopped at the Milwaukee Police Department District 2 station May 21 to report that a man driving a silver sedan had fired multiple shots at him after nearly striking his vehicle on the interstate.

The man said the incident started on southbound I-43 at National Avenue as the silver sedan was entering the freeway. The man told police he changed lanes to avoid a collision. But he said the silver sedan also changed lanes, causing their vehicles to crisscross.

The silver sedan then pulled up alongside his vehicle and the driver fired multiple shots at him, he told police.

The man said he sped away, exited the interstate at West Holt Avenue, called 911 and drove to the District 2 station. He said the silver sedan also exited the freeway at Holt Avenue.
