Now that the crime scene tape is up, questions are swirling around one apartment complex. A neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said the large scene was a big surprise.

“I was very surprised coming home from work,” he said.

Lee County sheriff’s deputies are currently on scene investigating.

“It makes you feel uncomfortable. It makes you have your guard up, especially if you have young children. And it is very stressful,” he said.

The neighborhood was full of people at the time of the shooting, adults and children alike.

One neighbor said he’s upset to see a crime in his apartment complex. “I’m hoping that there’s no more shootings or crimes. But as we know that this area here is always had some criminal activity. So hopefully, that we will get involved as a community and try to stop some of this criminal acts,” he said.
