And a neighbor that wanted to remain anonymous says this happened right outside his door.

"i heard a couple gunshots and came to the door, and i see the guy out there laying in the street, and i asked the guy was he okay, and he said he had been shot.

My son called the ambulance, and to see somebody's son laying out there on the street, cause that could be mine that could be anyone else's soon out there, it's sad."
