“It was a surprise. When I came home from the gym, I saw all these police officers,” said Antonio Andres, who lives on the same street where the incident occurred. “It’s a man who lives there alone, but in the last few months I’ve been seeing another girl.” Neighbors also said the area is usually quiet. “There is never a police presence here and it is a very nice area with nice people,” said Natalia Gutierrez.
