Police see tipped over chairs and believe this may be a targeted shooting. They are looking for surveillance cameras in the area that may have captured the shooting.
This is a quiet neighborhood, and residents like Kenny say you don't see violence like this around here often.
"This is the first time I've seen something like this."
