Man killed by stray bullet while in bed with wife: police

DALLAS - A man was shot and killed by a stray bullet while lying in bed with his wife in West Oak Cliff early Friday morning, according to Dallas police at the scene.

What we know:

The shooting happened just before 2:15 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 3100 block of Spruce Valley Lane. 

When officers arrived, they found a man who had been shot. He died at the scene, police said.

Images from the crime scene showed dozens of bullet holes in the side of the first-floor apartment directly below where the victim lived. Police said no one in that unit was hurt.

One of the bullets went through the window of the victim's second-floor apartment. He was hit and killed while he was asleep with his wife. She was not injured.

Police told a FOX 4 photojournalist they believe the intended target may have been someone on the first floor. Detectives do not believe the man who was killed was the intended target.

No arrests have been made.

What we don't know:

Police have not released the name of the victim or any suspect information. 

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and it is still unknown how many shooters were involved.

What they're saying:

A friend of the victim told FOX 4 the couple is from Venezuela. She said the wife woke up to find her husband dead in bed beside her.

The wife is staying with friends now because she is too afraid to return to the apartment.

Neighbor Domonique Osbourne heard the gunfire.

"Once you find out someone actually got shot, it's heartbreaking. You know what I'm saying? There's kids that play around here all the time. You see a bike right there. It's kind of sad," Osbourne said. "Think about the wife's family and think about the wife just waking up to a dead body. It's crazy."
