Officers scoured the neighborhood looking for two possible gunmen, but the suspects remain at large.

Police released these descriptions:

  • One suspect is described as a light-skinned black male in his late teens who is 6 feet tall, wearing a white jacket and white pants and armed with a black handgun.
  • The second suspect is also described as a light-skinned black male teen, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a skinny build and a mustache. He was wearing a blue jacket and dark pants.

The suspects were last seen running southbound from the house.

Police obtained surveillance video from a neighbor, which they are reviewing.
