What we know:
The incident took place around 4:30 a.m. on July 25 after police responded to reports of multiple shots fired into an occupied home with a family sleeping inside.
Two suspects were captured on surveillance footage walking by the home on the 1400 block of Thomas Street before the shooting, police said. After, they ran away on foot to a waiting vehicle, the department said.
Investigators are currently seeking information on a newer-model white sedan, believed to possibly be a Mercedes-Benz or Lincoln, TPD said.
