Northridge Driveway Shooting: Harrowing Eyewitness Account Reveals Details

A harrowing incident unfolded in Northridge as a man found himself at the center of a targeted shooting in his own driveway. The episode transpired at a residence on the 9600 block of Texhoma Avenue, roughly around 6:30 p.m. on a recent Friday evening.

The man, preferring to remain anonymous, had returned home and was greeted with an unsettling sight: an unfamiliar brown Kia sedan stationed awkwardly far from the curb near his neighbor’s home. As he veered into his circular driveway, the car began to ominously approach his residence.

“I noticed a suspicious vehicle parked in front of our neighbor’s house, parked pretty far away from the curb, so it was very unusual to see a vehicle parked that way,” the man said.

As he was about to exit his vehicle, the suspicious car came to a halt in front of his house. It was at this point that a hooded figure emerged from the backseat of the Kia armed with a firearm.

“A gentleman jumped out from the backseat wearing a hoodie and a bandana,” he remembered. “I just saw him lift up and point a black handgun with a long silencer in the front. So I closed my door right away and hit the gas and jumped the curb.”

His home security system captured the ensuing high-speed escape, the gunshots echoing through the neighborhood as the tires screeched against the pavement. The masked gunman continued to take aim at the man’s fleeing car.

As if the situation wasn’t worrying enough, the man’s main concern was his two children who were home at the time. To lure the attackers away from his home, he began to speed up. Despite the risks, this seemed to work as the assailants began to follow him.

He shared a grim tally of the damage inflicted: “One of the bullets hit the back of my car, the second hit the tree in front of my house, the third hit the neighbor’s upstairs bedroom window.”

Upon reflecting on the incident, he believes that he was specifically targeted by his attackers. “The way they were casing out the house, the way they pulled up, the way they got out of the car,” he recalled. “They attempted to shoot at me as I was driving away and then they attempted to follow me. Thank God I was able to drive fast and get away and contact the police.”

The local law enforcement arrived quickly after, securing the property. In the concluding moments of the recorded footage, the man’s son is seen stepping out of the front door, searching for his father.

“That’s when he saw the man running after my car and shooting in the middle of the street,” he said. “Naturally, my kids are terrified they had to witness this. My wife, she’s very distraught. It’s a very unsafe situation. It’s very unnerving.”
