A woman who lives there told News4 she was carrying her infant son when she saw the shooting.
"We saw a random guy with a hoodie on and he just started shooting, like, four bullets and he ran away. So, we don't know where he went after that. He had clothes, threw them in the dumpster, and then he left," Rocio Velasquez said.
"It was scary. I didn't know what to think. I was thinking about my son during the whole thing," she said.
