Images from the scene captured a large home in the multimillion-dollar Nurmi Isles neighborhood cordoned off with yellow police tape.

"I heard someone got, like, shot," a shocked visitor to the neighborhood, Raul Fernandez, said. "[This is] some Miami Vice-type stuff. This is not something I'd ever expect... I don't know how to take something like this."

The suspected shooter was arrested, authorities said.

"Everybody is here with their family and friends, trying to enjoy the beach, sunshine and it's like 4th of July weekend, who would do something like that on this kind of weekend," a neighbor told NBC6.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.
