Wednesday morning, homicide detectives and forensics crews were still at the scene on Olive Avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets, where friends from the neighborhood gathered on the corner to comfort each other after hearing about what happened.
“All we know is people walked in and found him dead on the floor,” said an acquaintance of the victim, who emphatically declined to give his name considering the shooter or shooters were still loose.
The victim was found dead in his apartment, according to the acquaintance, who said he’d dropped him off there just an hour earlier, but the exact time of the shooting wasn’t immediately clear. Neighbors said they hadn’t heard gunfire or realized anything was wrong until police arrived Tuesday night.
