A neighbor named Lori, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the shooting was out of the ordinary for the peaceful area.
“The only thing that happens in this neighborhood is coyotes running around,” she continued. “it’s very quiet, peaceful.”
It was four or five gunshots, she stated. “I jumped up and was like, ‘That couldn’t be gunshots,'” she recalled. Shortly after those bullets were fired, her Ring home security camera caught a car leaving the house.
The police had set up multiple gunshot marks in the driveway of the house while they carried out more investigation.
