Video shows as many as 31 evidence markers littering the walkway near the home's front porch, as several investigators combed the scene Sunday.
Police say this does not appear to be a random act.

This occurred in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of families and a park just a short distance away. Neighbors say the people who live in the home that was shot at are polite, and none of this makes sense.
One neighbor says they believe they saw two shooters who took off in a older model dark gray Nissan Altima.
Further details have not been shared amid the ongoing investigation. More information will be available at a later time, police said.
