"They were having a vigil around the corner for the other kid. Now this kid gets shot. I'm like- 'are you kidding me?' This is ridiculous. I mean, what are we going to do about everybody shooting each other?" asked Michael Coleman, who lives nearby.
Coleman had been watching TV with his door slightly open.
"All of a sudden I heard six or seven shots, and then I saw the kids running down the street. There's about three or four of them," Coleman said.
