Wendy Morales said the shooting has the children spooked, during a time of year when they want to go out and play at the nearby park and high school.

A 13-year-old girl saw the shooting through her window.

"I was frozen and… my heart was beating really fast," Annailyah Bigwood said. “I looked over the fence and I saw it and he was just all bloodied and I was just scared a lot.”

Her mother was upset that her family feels unsafe.

"Now we don’t feel safe to have her kids outside. if that happens to someone else’s kid now imagine if it was my daughter. so it’s just not fair.”
