Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story referred to a resident’s account of the shooting with the resident saying that there had been a big fight beforehand and police presence in the area all night. In fact, that resident was actually referring to a separate shooting incident in another location in a nearby neighborhood on the same night. We apologize for this error.
