"I hear gunshots almost every night, man, and ambulance, and police," said Antwann Henderson, neighbor. "It's senseless killing out here for no reason."

"Kids that live next door who are hearing it, they are getting so prone to gunshots in our community," said West. "You cannot tell me this is not a living war zone."

"Way that the world is now, women and kids are getting killed, and it`s just senseless crime," said Henderson.

"She was a human being," said West. "Now, she's gone."



Neighbors said they went to the home to offer support.

"I just say a prayer for these people and these families, and pray that God comes in," said Henderson.



An investigation was underway to determine what may have led to this.
