The man, who didn't want his name used, lives down the block from where the shooting happened and said shootings are common in the neighborhood.
"You’re used to this in this neighborhood. You want to go inside. You don’t want to catch a stray bullet," he said. "They hang out there all night long. There’s people hanging there and making noise all day long. It’s gonna happen. There’s a shooting today, they’ll be another shooting tomorrow. It’s just the neighborhood we live in and it’s a shame."
A police investigation is underway.
