"Good friend of mine, always waves to me when he comes out in the driveway. Real nice person. Don't bother nobody," the resident said.
The alleged shooting is a shock to many in this area. Some neighbors are so concerned that they have packed up and plan to leave town.
"I've lived here over 50 years. Try to live a peaceful, quiet life. That's not peaceful and quiet. We're leaving. I'll sell this house. I'll be gone," a resident said.
