“Investigators believe the incident is targeted,” Nebrija said.

Police have released video of the shooting that shows two people exiting a vehicle on the street, then pulling out handguns moments later and opening fire on a house.

The vehicle is described as a black SUV with tinted windows, silver rims and silver trim.
