Detectives are looking into the motive for the shooting.
Debris from leftover illegal fireworks were scattered throughout the crime scene hours after the shooting. Police said a party was taking place before it happened.
"The car came, pow, pow, pow, pow they drove off ... I hope they did catch him. That's messed up because they could have hit my grandkids, and then you'd have to deal with me." a neighbor said.
