A suspect fired multiple shots at the victim, who was inside a vehicle with two children under the age of 12.
The children were not hurt.
People living in the neighborhood off Liscum Drive were reluctant to speak on camera after the daytime shootout.
“It sounded like it was in my backyard. I didn’t know what happened,” a neighbor told News Center 7.
A man said he ran out of his home on Tuesday when he heard the gunshots.
He said the victim tried to get away.
“He jumped in the car and pulled backwards, and that’s when he wrecked into the house, and then the kids jumped out,” he said.
