As the man with the knife went to leave the residence, a fourth person in the house, identified by police as 50-year-old-Milton Cao, grabbed a gun and fatally shot him, police said. 

A neighbor who lives across the street said she heard a gunshot Wednesday night. 

"I heard the shot and got out and I told my son I heard a gunshot, and I opened the door and when I got out the man was running out. I thought it was just a kid running, then I showered and when I got out again there was police all over the area. That's when I saw the man dead," said Jeika Oliver Castro.

Castro said she's lived there a long time and nothing like this has happened before. 

The injured teen was taken to Nicklaus Children's Hospital, where he was listed as stable. His father was rushed to the Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition.

Cao has been charged with second degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted person.
