據目擊者表示，事發時，該住宅後院好像正在舉辦萬聖節派對。

Lambert Alcendor, 21, has lived in the area for nearly four years.

21歲的Lambert Alcendor在這附近住了近四年。

He said that he was walking to a liquor store at 7th Street and Temple when he saw a white car swerving on 7th Street in front of the nail salon and heard 20 to 30 shots fired.

他說，當他走到第七街和坦普爾大道拐角的一家酒類商店時，看到一輛白色汽車在第七街的美甲店前轉彎，然後就聽到了20至30聲的槍響。

“I definitely heard a lot of shots,” he said. “And that’s when I started running.”

“我肯定聽到了很多次槍聲，”他說，“然後我拔腿就跑。”

Alcendor said he ducked behind a car on 7th Street near Gladys Avenue, and when he looked back toward the area the car was gone. Although he didn’t see gunfire come from the car, he felt confident that that’s where the shots came from.

Alcendor說他躲在格拉迪斯大道附近第七街的一輛車後面，當他回頭看時，車已經不見了。雖然他沒有親眼看到有槍手從車裏射擊，但他確信那就是槍聲來源。

33歲的Oscar Cancio也恰好在附近的停車場。他說自己聽到了9至11聲槍響，起初還以爲是哪兒在放煙花，直到聽到直升機在頭頂盤旋和警車的聲音，才知道大事不妙。

He became worried about his neighbors, and headed in the direction of the sounds he heard. He found police tape lining the yard of a residence next to the nail salon near 7th and Temple. He witnessed three people who were completely still, unmoving as they were taken away from the building on stretchers.

他開始擔心起他的鄰居們來，朝聲音傳來的方向走去。他發現第七街和坦普爾大道附近美甲店旁邊的一個住宅的院子被警察用膠帶圍了起來。他看見三個人被擔架抬走時已經完全一動不動了。
