Residents describe the party space as a storefront between a salon and a dance studio that hosts parties where people are served alcohol. Lately, there have been big crowds. Eyewitness News reporter Sonia Rincon was told there's also a new smoke shop on the block that's been popular with the crowds."I don't know how it got violent. I don't know if it was an altercation," Keith Joseph said. "It was a quiet peaceful night, maybe a little bit of music, not too loud, no violent music, no type of energy like that, we're only here to have a good time at the end of the day. Next thing you know, a good time turned into a bad night.
Joseph says he didn't know who got violent or who got hurt and was not near where the shots were fired, but he heard people running. Neighbors say they have been concerned about the amount of people coming and going and whether or not the party space is legal.The identity and condition of the person who was shot are unknown.
