When he refused, they held a gun to him and and when he still refused to open the door, they shot him.
Neighbors said it didn’t end there. Those who heard the gunshots tried to block the entrance to the complex so the suspects could not leave.
That’s when they said the men began shooting at them.
No arrests have been made yet.
