Police say Butler pulled up next to the victim’s vehicle around 7:30 p.m. near the 8 Mile Road exit on the northbound side of the freeway and fired shots. Earlier this week, police said they believed the shooting was probably related to road rage.

The victim needed surgery, but he is expected to recover.
