Original Story:

Neighbors in Glen Mar Apartments are shaken up after a shooting just feet from their homes.

The victim, Brandon D'Carlos Williams, 26 , was pronounced deceased by medical personnel.

"For this to happen right here is a little unnerving," said neighbor Ryan Okamato.

Okamato was on the phone with his girlfriend as she was going to work.

"She's on the phone like 'I think someone's shooting,' and I'm like 'What do you mean?' and she's like 'There's a guy shooting at someone and I don't know what to do,' and I was like 'get out, get out and run as fast as you can and get out of there," Okamato said.

Carolyn Stewart got back from the grocery store to see the police outside her apartment.

"I was walking around and I saw the crime scene tape and I knew something bad had happened," Stewart said.

She says in 6 years of living here nothing like this has happened.

"My emotions are bubbling up and it's all too common, it's everywhere. So you think you're in a pretty safe neighborhood, pretty safe and it's literally in my backyard," Stewart said.

Homicide detectives later arrested and charged 19-year-old Dominic Taylor with the murder.
