Dennis Dangler, who lives in the area, said the sound of gunshots rang through the quiet night.
"I was sleeping on the couch, I woke up and I heard three shots, like a .40 caliber, and hollering," Dangler told WWJ's Charlie Langton. "I looked out the door, heard arguing, a car spun off and there he laid."
While some neighbors said they couldn't believe this happened, Dangler had speculations of his own.
"If you're such a good person, why are you dead? You know, they just didn't drive by for the hell of it and shoot, you know? I don't -- I've been around too long," he said.
No arrests have been made.
An investigation is ongoing.
