Ronald Price Jr. had just gotten home from work and was going to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. His 16-year-old stepson, Breon Austin, was headed out, pausing a moment to pick up his dropped cellphone.

Just then, Price said, a person wearing a mask burst through the partially opened back door and with few or no words began shooting. Price watched as Breon was struck and died in the hallway on Friday afternoon.
[...]
Police, who confirmed Price’s account, are searching for the shooter and a vehicle of interest, described as a gray, four-door sedan with a sun roof and stickers on the driver’s side.
