Theresa Battle lives on the second floor of the complex. She said she heard several gunshots. When she looked outside, she said she saw her neighbor inside a car.

“She was trying to pull him out, saying, come on — they said, 'don't move him, don't move him,'" Battle said. “I was afraid to come outside, so I looked out the window, and I saw others come outside, so I came out.”

Battle said she saw Sanchez often, sitting in his chair outside his front door.

“Just hi and that's it. He minds his business,” Battle said.

The investigation remains ongoing at this time.
