What they’re saying:
DJ Singh lives two blocks away from the Jewel.
“That’s horrible. That could’ve been anyone. Hopefully they find who did it,” he said.
The shooting left local residents rattled.
“I do most of my grocery shopping here, so I just kind of mind my business. Be visual if I do see something around me. If I see something, keep my head down,” Singh said.
Another resident who did not want to be identified said he sees kids out at night who appear to be drinking.
“There’s no place for them, no guidance. If there’s no training, they pick it up off the streets,” he said.
