Resident Romy Sarangay told News4 he heard some commotion Monday morning, but he didn't think much of it until he saw officers combing through the crime scene.
"It concerns me because I'm not used to this. You know, I'm a single parent and I have two girls with me so I'm very much concerned with their safety in the neighborhood," Sarangay said.
