"I was sleeping and I heard a big 'kaboom,'" Mikko Chesser said.

"I ran to the front. There was a car here and a lady in the car and she was crying. I guess he just picked her up and she was saying 'I just got in the car. I just got in the car,'" Chesser said.

The victim has been identified as Anthony McDade. A friend told FOX6 News McDade was a loving father to his kids, and he worked hard and had love for everybody. He said McDade enjoyed sports, music and his city.

Friends said they're shocked anyone would've wanted to kill him.

"It's kind of scary. I don't know where he was going or headed, but if i was walking past I could have been hurt," Chesser said.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the shooting.
