One man said his uncle owns a tire shop across the street. He said while they didn't know the deceased personally, they saw him often at their shop, at the car wash and at the gas station.
"He would come up to the tire shop, and we found out that he got shot, so we came over here to check it out and see what it was," the man said. "He don't really bother nobody. He was a really cool guy. We don't know why he got shot."
Police have not provided information about a possible motive or suspects.
