Court records show Mesa Police Department's real-time crime center captured the black SUV before and after the shooting.
Police used license plate readers to track down 24-year-old Alyssa Soto, leading to her arrest on felony aggravated assault charges.
Soto told police she was cut off and clipped by the victim's vehicle and was so angry she took out her 9mm pistol and started shooting.
The victim tells us she still fears further retaliation.
Soto's gun left behind a shell casing in the road, but investigators found the bullet in a nearby Chevron gas station parking lot.
No one was shot in the incident.
