The shooting happened in the middle of a neighborhood.
University Apartments are on one side of the street and on the other side are long-term residents, some who have been in the community for 10 years or more.
Those in the community are upset there was a shooting just feet from their homes and frustrated that police left a man’s body in the road for more than 10 hours.
Neighbors told CBS 17 that they heard multiple gunshots and came outside to see a man dead in the street.
Police at the scene were looking at two vehicles – a burgundy SUV with multiple bullet holes in the windshield and a silver-colored sedan.
Neighbors said they saw another person taken from the scene in an ambulance.
Authorities are still trying to determine what led up to the shooting. No suspect information has been released at this time and no arrests have been made. The identity of the victim has not been released.
