During the altercation the bicyclist reached into a handbag and pulled out a gun. Fearing for his safety and the safety of his three passengers, the motorist sped away from the scene, just as the bicyclist fired at the fleeing vehicle.
Deputies began searching the area and located the bicyclist,who was later identified as 23-year-old, Donovan Moore, of Eastvale. During a subsequent search, deputies discovered Moore was still in possession of a loaded firearm.
