Investigators said at this point, they do not have any leads on the suspect. A woman, who chose not to reveal her identity, said the victim is her brother-in-law. She was inside the home at the time with her four young children and husband during the robbery. She remembered hearing him pressing the code.
"My husband asked me to check the door and I as go to open it, the code was being entered again and at that moment was when he started banging," she recalled. "It's very upsetting that something like this would happen here."
The neighborhood where the gunman struck has several homes with doorbell cameras. Neighbors described it as normally quiet but still not immune to crimes.
"When we do have issues, it's never our own neighbors. It's neighbors from outside," neighbor Latisha Granberry told NewsChannel 5. "It makes me sad that you can't go in and out of your home without being cautious or thinking someone is going to hurt you."
