Police removed the woman from the car and began speaking to her ex-boyfriend, officials said. In the midst of the conversation, Roston shot the man in the leg, police said.
It was not clear what prompted the shooting.
The man was transported to University Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries. No one else was injured.
