Surveillance video shows police searching a backyard in Newark moments after three people, including a young child, were shot and killed. JohnBDias spoke with heartbroken neighbors.
Police said they're investigating the shooting as a double-homicide, but a motive was still unknown. "I heard a big noise. I thought it was somebody that dropped something on the floor. I didn't think anything like somebody was shooting upstairs," said the landlord of the residential building.
The landlord, who shared the surveillance video with CBS2, said a woman with a 7-year-old child moved in three weeks ago. "I thought that was him running around, playing. I thought it was just kids playing upstairs," the landlord said. "I heard the siren, that was police coming around. So I sit inside the car because I don't know what is going on," said Stephen Danso.
A law enforcement source said there was an incident in which at least two people, including a child, were shot. The suspect left the area and was shot during an encounter with Newark Police, the source said. "It's tragic. I mean, it's said in Newark that it goes on like that," said Shavon Watson-Foster, a neighbor."My heart goes out, my condolences go out to the family that lost one." Police said they found a gun on the sidewalk, but many details are still under investigation.
