NORTHRIDGE (CNS) - Authorities were seeking the public's help Sunday in locating a gunman who fired at a man in front of his Northridge home.
Police received a radio call at 6:38 p.m. Friday of an "assault with a deadly weapon suspect there now" at a home in the 9600 block of Texhoma Avenue, near Plummer Street and Encino Avenue, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
The suspect fled the scene prior to the arrival of officers, headed southbound in a newer, light-colored sedan driven by someone else. He was described as a 5-foot-10 inch tall male weighing 180 pounds wearing a black mask and wearing "black all over."
The weapon used in the shooting was described a semiautomatic handgun.
The incident was captured on the victim's doorbell camera. Footage aired by ABC7 shows a man firing several shots at the victim's vehicle as it exits a driveway. The victim told the station he noticed a suspicious-looking car when he pulled up to his home, and that's when the shooting occurred.
After firing the shots, the gunman is seen climbing into the rear seat of the vehicle as it pulls away. Bullets struck the victim's car and a tree, but no injuries were reported.
The LAPD's Media Relations office could not confirm the station's report that the shooting took place in front of the victim's children.
Anyone with any information about the shooting was urged to call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or go directly to www.lacrimestoppers.org.
