Joseph Payne, a resident of Western Belvedere, said he thought he heard shots over his music and runs out when he saw red and blue lights.
He said he saw a man be rolled up on Gurney, saying his paramedics repeatedly, “Keep your eyes up.”
Another individual was deployed in a wheelchair, according to Payne.
He said there was a large group of 10 to 15 people, who believes all teenagers.
Throughout Sunday morning, residents went around their day. Many were sitting on their front porches while others finished working in the yard or walking on the sidewalks while investigators worked in the area.
A resident said that the “before” area had many crimes, but in the last few years it has been on the good country. The man who did not want to be baptized said he was surprised by the shooting because “nothing like this has happened here in a long time.”
