Aurora police say a man was shot while driving on I-225 Friday evening in Aurora

A man was shot Friday night while driving on Interstate 225 in Aurora, officials say.

Authorities say while the victim was driving south on I-225, a black Dodge Durango with a temporary license tag, pulled alongside his vehicle and fired several rounds into the car.

The wounded victim maneuvered his vehicle to the side of the road and contacted law enforcement officials, while the truck continued southbound, officials said. 

The victim was transported to a nearby medical facility and is expected to survive, said Aurora Police Lt. Chris Amsler.

The investigation is ongoing.

Currently, the suspect is still at-large and authorities are encouraging anyone who witnessed the shooting or have information about the incident to contact the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867

Anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter will be eligible for up to $2,000 in reward money, Ampler said.
