“There was like screaming and a lot of commotion going on and there were like rumors about a domestic violence thing maybe happening and gunshots going off,” Neighbor Erin Smith told 成人X站 Newsradio.

Earlier in the evening, and in the same neighborhood, police said the man allegedly shot at two other people. He missed, but several cars were damaged.

Judge finds probable cause for murder charges

The man declined to appear at his first court appearance. According to an arrest report, he told officers he had used PCP and was seeing demons. He also stated he thought the gun was loaded with blanks. Prosecutors countered, he had fired the gun at people just a short time earlier and should have known it was loaded.

The judge found there is probable cause for the charges of murder in the first degree, two counts of assault in the first degree and unlawful possession of a firearm. Bail was set at $5 million.

Prosecutors said high bail was granted because of the nature of the crime, the nature of the charges and an extensive criminal history, including 14 felony convictions.

Peace has returned to the Magnolia neighborhood, but neighbors said they will never forget such a senseless death of one so young.

“We’re in nursing school and so as future nurses, I was crying. I cried a lot last night. It’s like you can鈥檛 really wrap your head around it,” Smith said.
