"This neighborhood is real quiet, real nice people right here. We watch over each other, everybody's real friendly, so something like this never happened before that I know of," neighbor Manuel Olmeda Rivera said. "I was real sad. I feel bad for the family. We're good people right here and we don't want these kind of things to happen."
