She said it appeared the victim was shot in the head.
A grieving man who identified himself as Summers' cousin, but declined to provide his name, placed a plant in the spot the victim was killed on Tuesday.
“He was a great man. He was a father first, hard worker, loved his kids, loved his family, was always there," he said. "[He was] very outgoing, very talkative, very uplifting, had a big heart.”
