The victim was not cooperating with the investigation, police said.

Bystanders watched police collect evidence from the street and wondered what was going on.

"I saw a visible red stain on his shirt and I thought, 'There's no way this could be anything serious.' But now, finding out it's a shooting or stabbing or something like that, it's really shocking," said Star Donaldson, who witnessed the aftermath.
