I spoke with Lamar Estelle, who was house-sitting for his brother nearby when the shooting occurred. Despite being awake around 1 a.m., Estelle said he didn't hear anything unusual.
"I didn't hear anything. Lights, nothing. I was up about one-o'clock because I couldn't sleep, but I didn't hear anything," Estelle said.
"I didn't know it happened until seven-o'clock this morning."
Estelle described his shock upon learning about the tragedy.
"It was shocking. I mean, it's very sad to hear such an event like that, especially for our youth," Estelle said.
"I mean, their whole life is ahead of them."
The neighborhood has typically been peaceful, according to Estelle.
"No, it's always been quiet. You know, grandkids will be down here. The kids, you know, they walk around and hangout here. We don't have any issues," Estelle said.
Jackson police continue to investigate the shooting death.
