According to investigators, a witness said there was a shooting in the apartment on Sunday. Police said the victim was inside an apartment unit with two other men doing drugs when one of the other men pulled a gun out and demanded the victim take his hands out of his pockets. The victim refused to comply and was shot, HPD said.

The witness did not call the police initially because he said he was scared and believed the shooter was still in the apartment, officers said.
