The woman's brother and his three children were also injured in the"We need more leads to kind of reinvigorate this investigation," said Sunnyvale Police Chief Bill Vegas.
The video released by police on Monday shows the car and shooter in the murder of Mesquite resident Tyseha Merritt.Footage also shows the suspect's car at Highway 80 and Belt Line before the shooting."As the Camry pulls up, there's a horn honk and then the passenger front passenger exits the vehicle, and he approaches the driver side of the victim vehicle," said Vegas. "He's got a mask on.
"[The shooter is] about 6-foot, maybe a little bit taller, about 6'1" maybe 6'2". We believe he weighs about 230, 240. He's an African American male. He has a mask on, so you can't really see his face," said Vegas.Witnesses said a car following the Sunnyvale family into a townhome parking lot, approached their car and started shooting. A woman was killed and four others including three children were hurt.
As the shooter gets back out of the Black Camry the driver blows the horn. That makes Chief Vegas think this was not road rage or random. "There's theories about that, you know, one of the theories being that the reason there's a horn honk is because we want to get the attention of the driver and the passengers to make sure that we have the right car," he said."Our town decided that $5,000 wasn't enough, that we needed to invest in this. We need to get answers," said Chief Vegas.
