Neighbors expressed shock at the violence in what many described as a typically quiet community.

"It was shocking to me when I saw all the police cars and stuff," one woman told FOX 5. Another resident added, "There was no violence over here and nothing like that up until now."

Police confirmed Bowen did not live at the complex, though multiple residents said they had seen him in the area before.

"No one knows who lives over here. That’s the main thing," a neighbor said, raising concerns about residency and leasing issues at the property.
