No one was injured inside the home, but first responders noticed the 16-year-old driver had multiple gunshot wounds.

Neighbors said they didn’t hear gunshots or the crash, only discovering what happened after they noticed a commotion outside.

"It was a lot of police. I knew it was something bad because there were detectives, which wasn’t normal," Bianca Pabai recalled. "Police were surrounding this house and there was crime tape and they were taking pictures and stuff."

Days after the crash, pieces of the vehicle and damage to the home could still be seen. 

Dallas police haven’t released any more details on a possible suspect, or the circumstances leading up to the crash. 

But neighbors said family and friends have been coming by to remember the young teen, holding a vigil earlier this week as police search for answers.

"It’s sad, anytime you lose a loved one," Pabai said. "It’s heartbreaking, and to know he’s only 16 years old, he hasn’t even begun his life. Like I said, my daughter’s 16, she’s driving. I would feel awful if that was my child, so I definitely feel for the family and my prayers go out to them."

Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.
