Neighbors say they are shaken by the violence that occurred so close to home. Jesus, who lives nearby, said he saw a car being towed from the residence but didn't think anything of it at the time.

"I feel like we're really scared, because you don't expect something like that to happen in your neighborhood. My family is scared because you're not prepared for something like that to happen around your house," Jesus said.
