However, neighbors like Richard Pedraza are left uneasy. Police knocked on his door shortly after Monday’s shooting.

“They’re asking me if I heard gunshots and I told them, ‘Look, we’ve had fireworks going off since 12 o’clock at night, and so I wouldn’t know the difference at that point,’” he said.
