Pipkins emphasized that Egeonu was a father of three and strongly advocated for de-escalation. He expressed disbelief and shock over the incident, stating, 'And for this to happen is, like, It amazed me, because it's like somebody took my cousin’s life, and he's not that type of person.'Michael Storbeck, a resident and manager of Scarlet Pumpkinel Tavern across the street from the CVS, shared his feelings about the incident, saying, 'I feel like a lot of people down here are affected. I feel like a lot of people are scared sometimes.'
