Upon arrival, police found two victims who had been shot several times.
Julie P. was washing dishes when she heard the gunshots. She looked out her window and saw a group of people in her kitchen next door looking down -- possibly at one of the bodies.
"I was scared, because I'm looking at them, and I'm scared if a bullet should come at me. They were right in front of me," said Julie.
Police say two people were shot numerous times inside the home -- the suspect was their own uncle, police believe. Chevaughn Millings, 25, was pronounced dead. A 20-year-old woman who was shot survived.
Police say an argument over cooking could possibly be the reason for the shooting.
The violence in what appears to be a quiet, residential neighborhood has only grown -- according to neighbors, and the crime scene tape is all too familiar. They say they can't help but remember another deadly shooting that happened just about a block away.

"A correction officer was shot around the corner," said Cavita Lewis.
John Jeff, a 28-year-old correction officer was killed in August of 2020 after leaving a party in the neighborhood. His killer remains on the loose despite a weathered poster offering a reward for an arrest.
Neighbors hope this most recent shooting does not go unsolved -- they would like to feel safe again.
"I grew up on this block, so it's just sad how it changed," Lewis added.
The suspect fled the scene in a white vehicle.
