As the two vehicles approached McDowell Road, the suspects reportedly fired gunshots at the victim's vehicle.
No one was hurt in the shooting.
The victim stopped at that point and called authorities.
The suspect vehicle took off, eventually stopping roughly a mile south of Shea Boulevard.
The suspects then reportedly fled on foot into the desert. One person has since been arrested but troopers are still searching for two others.
