Dallas police are searching for a suspect accused of shooting a person multiple times after allegedly using a bogus pizza delivery to lure them outside their home. The attack happened on March 1, around 4 p.m., at the intersection of Sedona Lane and Dove Creek. The victim survived despite being shot eight times, and detectives say the suspect, dressed in all black, took off in a silver Chevrolet Trax.
Surveillance video reviewed by investigators shows a person in all black waiting behind a wall near the house's garage, then opening fire as the victim answers the door and returning to shoot again. Police told reporters the victim never ordered the pizza and that the setup has all the markings of a premeditated ambush, according to FOX 4.
City incident logs list a shooting in the 1800 block of Sedona Lane on March 1 with dispatch entries around 4:19 p.m., a timeline that matches the footage investigators released, according to Dallas Open Data. Detectives say they are using those records along with neighborhood camera footage to track the suspect and the silver Trax seen leaving the area.
Delivery-related attacks in North Texas
The March 1 shooting echoes a string of recent incidents tied to deliveries and doorstep encounters across the region. Local coverage of a Mesquite case last fall, where a delivery worker was shot during a drop-off and investigators later made an arrest, highlighted that delivery-time violence remains firmly on law enforcement’s radar, according to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
Police release description and plea for footage
“We believe this is a planned attack,” Detective Michael Bui said, adding that investigators think the suspect scoped out the area, used the victim’s name to place the order online and arranged a cash delivery under $50. Anyone who recognizes the silver 2024–2025 Chevrolet Trax seen leaving the scene or who has doorbell, driveway or ring-camera footage is asked to contact Detective Bui at 214-671-3538 or [email protected], FOX 4 reports.
No arrests have been announced, and the investigation remains active as detectives canvass the neighborhood and review video from nearby homes. Neighbors who think they may have footage or information are being urged to check their devices and reach out to investigators.
