Sunnyvale Police have released a new video they hope will lead to the arrest of a man who opened fire on a family's vehicle last month, killing a woman, injuring her brother and critically wounding his three young children.
The video released Monday shows a black sedan pulling into the Riverstone Trail Townhomes on 201 Planters Road. The vehicle stops behind a parked pickup truck and a man hops out of the passenger side and runs toward the truck.
