"I'm still shaken. I hope they catch this person. All this crime going on right in front of your face, it's scary -- and having kids around..." Josephine Trevino said.

Trevino said on Sunday night, she tried to protect her young grandchildren, not knowing the danger that was outside her door.

"I saw a police officer come down the block and chase the car. The residents don't feel safe. When the officers are in danger, that puts us in more in danger. They are supposed to be here to protect us," Parker said.
