"The loss is great and just to know that it happened right next door to you or across the street, it makes you more nervous to even stay," said Tasha Mails, a woman who says her girlfriend has lived in the area for over 20 years.
Mails says she and her girlfriend don't even walk in the area where the shooting took place because "there's always something going on."
"She (Mails' girlfriend) said she’s ready to leave, and she’s been in this community for over 20 years and she loves it. Just to know that she wants to pack up and move, that speaks volumes," she said.
