"It's getting scary," said Benjamin Jordan, who was stopped in his tracks by police and a horrific sight. "I saw that body next to me on the right-hand side in the back alley and I was sad. Real crazy."

Jordan tried to shield his young nephew.

"It was scary to see," said Jordan. "I was like, 'What am I going to do with my nephew?' I'm not going to allow him to see what's going on."

Jordan soon connected the crime scene behind his home to what he heard that woke him up.
