23-year-old arrested after allegedly firing shots into car on I-64

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Police are investigating after someone fired shots into a car on I-64 East, near Hurstbourne Parkway.

LMPD said nobody was shot, but the person believed to be the shooter, 23-year-old Ali Abdulmalik, was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, criminal mischief, and second-degree assault.

The victim told police that he was traveling on I-64 East between the Watterson and Hurstbourne Lane when another vehicle hit him from behind, according to the citation. The victim then tried to pull over to look at the damage when Abdulmalik allegedly passed him and fired four gunshots at the victim’s car.

The victim said he did not know the shooter and the two are not known to be acquainted in any way. LMPD said there is no apparent motive for the attack.

Detectives are interviewing both people to determine what led up to the incident.

The situation resulted in lanes on I-64 as well as the ramp to Hurstbourne being closed, but they are both open now.
