Lewisville shooting: Video captures masked man shooting up house before running off

Lewisville police are looking for a masked man in a hoodie who opened fire on a home and then ran off.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. But the question remains: who targeted the home and why? 

What we know:

Home surveillance video obtained by FOX 4 shows a masked man in a hoodie approaching a home off Kingston Drive around 9 a.m. Monday.

Additional footage shows the suspect turning toward the home and firing a gun. After about a dozen shots, the shooter runs away. 

Nobody was hurt, but the homeowner says his 19-year-old son was inside asleep.

Investigators are canvassing the neighborhood in hopes of finding additional surveillance video and leads. 

The shooter was wearing sunglasses, a dark hoodie, dark pants and black and white shoes.

What we don't know:

Police don’t know the identity of the suspect.

It’s unclear why the home was targeted. 

Police say they have not established any information indicating the gunman has any type of link to the people living there.

"What we’re trying to ascertain is who that suspect is, and we’re looking for the community to help us provide any information that will lead us there," said Lewisville Public Information Officer Rachel Roberts. 

Police have not ruled out the shooting being random or the home was mistaken for a different home.

"It does not appear there’s any links to the people in the home to the shooter," said Roberts.

What they're saying:

Homeowner Ivanhoe Solorzano says he wants to find whoever shot into his house.

"I want to whoop his ass, to be honest. And I want to ask him why he did it," he said. "We’ve been here for a long time, and we never, ever had issues with nobody. Literally, nobody."

Neighbor Alex Redmon says he heard the gunfire and called police.

"I wanted to get away from it as fast as I could. I knew what it sounded like," he recalled. "This is the first time that anything like this has happened. It’s been a really quiet neighborhood until this point. I was just shocked."

Solorzano hopes the shooter had the wrong house. While he’s grateful no one was hurt, he said he feels a range of emotions. 

"Really mad. And I just want to let the police do their job and him and then ask him why," he said. "Regardless, he’s going to be behind the bars."

"We don’t want violent crime in this community, and we take it very seriously," said Roberts.
