Cops say when they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Surveillance video, shared by police, from the area shows the suspect arriving in a grey Honda CR-V sport utility vehicle (SUV).
The suspect is described as a male with a slim build, wearing dark clothing and white gloves.
The victim was seated in an SUV in his driveway when the suspect approached and shot him through the vehicle’s door.
