Police are asking the public's help to find a man they say shot a motorist last month in East Germantown.

Chris Miller, 24, who also goes by the name George Spain and nickname "Fell," is accused of approaching a blue 2002 Buick stopped at a stop sign about 6 p.m. on Woodlawn Street near Bloyd on Aug. 25 and firing a gun at the driver, 29, police said. The driver later told police he heard a gunshot, blacked out and awoke seconds later to find he had crashed in the intersection. When police arrived, bystanders pointed to a nearby chair on the sidewalk, where the bloodied driver was sitting with a gunshot wound to his head. He remains in critical condition at Einstein Medical Center, police said.

Investigators have issued an arrest warrant for Miller, who lives nearby on Stokes Street near Musgrave, for aggravated assault. Police warn that he is considered armed and dangerous and ask anyone who knows his whereabouts to call 9-1-1 or Northwest Detectives at (215) 686-3353 or -3354.
