Leny Thomas shared his concerns about the fatal shooting, which occurred in his father's neighborhood.

"Any stray bullet, anything can happen and anybody can be hurt, you know?" Thomas said. "It's not just the people that are involved in the situation, and it's just to the point, where, when's it enough? When do people stop? You know, this stupid-ness and it gets me emotional."

Now, friends and family of the victim are grieving, as a community looks for answers.

One man said the neighborhood used to be a safe place to live, but that isn't the case anymore.

"Thank God my kids are grown and gone now and it's just my wife and I," he said. "But even fear for my wife coming home from work during the day. It's quiet here sometimes, but you never know."
