A witness told News 6 that they saw a man in a white T-shirt being pulled from the vehicle. The witness — who asked to remain anonymous — said he thought the man had a circle logo on his shirt, but as the circle grew, the witness realized it was a “waterfall of blood.”
“You’re seeing the energy or the life of a man leave this world. I’m unhinged,” he said. “I feel like I’m on the edge of the world looking down. I haven’t blinked much, can’t eat, I’m terrified. Nobody should be terrified to come outside.”
Law enforcement is still investigating the shooting, deputies said.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
