\n Porch shooting suspect’s get-away car | Screengrab from surveillance video\/DPD Beat <\/p>\n
Police are asking the public for information about a front-porch shooting earlier this month in a residential neighborhood in South Dallas that left a man critically injured.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to the call at about 4:13 p.m. in the 1800 block of Sedona Lane<\/a> on March 1. Dallas Fire-Rescue transported the victim to a hospital in critical condition after an unknown suspect shot him, according to a report<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Surveillance video captured the victim receiving a food delivery he had not ordered moments before the suspect approached and opened fire. The video, captured by a security camera across the street, shows a delivery driver approaching the victim\u2019s home carrying what appears to be an insulated food container, similar to those often used for pizza deliveries.<\/p>\n The driver rings the doorbell, and as he discusses the food delivery order with the homeowner through a screened door, the suspect can be seen lurking in front of the home\u2019s garage behind a parked truck.<\/p>\n When the homeowner opens the screen door to accept the delivery, the assailant rushes onto the porch and shoots the victim while the deliveryman jumps out of the line of fire.<\/p>\n The shooter, dressed in dark clothing, turns to leave, but then comes back to fire at the victim again. In all, the victim was struck<\/a> eight times.<\/p>\n The delivery person tosses the food onto the porch and runs back to his car as the shooter flees in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n After the delivery person sees the shooter speed away in a silver crossover SUV, he returns to the front porch and uses his phone to call for help, Ring camera footage shows. Police later identified the gunman\u2019s vehicle as a silver 2024 or 2025 Chevrolet Trax.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe this is a planned attack. The suspect searched the area, got the victim\u2019s name to make the order online, and he knew that the order had to be less than fifty dollars, had to make a delivery and had to be paid by cash,\u201d DPD Detective Michael Bui said,<\/a> Fox 4 KDFW reported.<\/p>\n
