There was no sign of the suspect when police arrived on the scene, officers said.
Homicide detectives were called and are hoping someone in the neighborhood might have seen the suspect leaving.
“There’s always something going on around here,” Rebecca Hunter said.
Hunter is upset someone was shot around the corner from her.
She’s lived here for close to eight years and mostly keeps to herself.
“You hear gunfire throughout the neighborhood here and there ... it’s something that happens quite often,” Hunter said.
Police also called their narcotics unit to the scene after suspected drugs were spotted in the home.
What led up to the shooting is still under investigation.
We will continue to follow this story.
