He says they believe multiple people fired shots, they’re not sure who or how many at this point. He says they did recover an AR on the scene.

"They self-admitted that it was a set-up robbery. It was a dope rip and mother had knowledge of that," he said.

Tyasia Morgan lives in the apartment above the apartment where this all happened. She says she got a call from her 9-year-old daughter about it.

"My daughter called me and my sister called me because they heard a bunch of gunshots, my daughter is terrified she's hiding in the bathtub," she said. "It's just traumatic and that could scar her. She could be really scared looking around, she's only 9."

Officials say they believe the suspect dumped his black sedan at a nearby Chevron and then made his way to a nearby urgent care.
