A suspect in the shooting is still being sought by police.

NBC6 crews saw at least four bullet holes that pierced through the windows of houses near the scene. A car that was parked outside also had a bullet hole in the passenger side window.

A neighbor who called 911 said the house had been raided by police earlier in the day. She described the chaos when she heard the shots.

“I looked in the yard across the street, and I see this woman was talking to this man, and this man started yelling and got angry, and he pulled out a gun and started shooting," she said. "She got in the car real quick and drove as fast as she can straight down my street... I haven’t seen his face. I don’t know what he looks like, but it happened so fast. He just pulled a gun out and started shooting, bang, bang, bang. And she got in her car and took off.”

A motive for the shooting is not yet known.
