The Glendale Police Department said officers responded to a shooting call near 55th Avenue and Bethany Home Road just before 4:30 p.m.

Police said when officers arrived, they found a 31-year-old male motorcyclist who had been shot. 

The victim was riding in front of the suspect's car when the two got into some sort of verbal and possibly physical altercation in the middle of the roadway, according to Glendale Police Sgt. Randy Stewart.
