Emelda Ellis moved away from the Keist Crossing Apartments in the past few months. She told NBC 5 she didn’t think it was a safe place to raise her 7 and 3-year olds.
“We moved because of the drug activity and constant gunfire,” said Ellis, who was visiting family that still lives at the complex. She also said she knew of the deceased, a person known as “Q.”
“I don’t know him personally, but I see him walking around here all the time,” said Ellis. “He walks a little bitty dog. Real nice guy. Never bothered nobody, so I don’t know why this happened to him.”
Dorothy Jones said she knows Q fairly well. Jones said Friday morning she called him to see if he could take her to pick up her prescriptions at a Walgreens. He told her he was on his way.
Minutes later from her apartment she said she heard four gun shots.
A short time later someone knocked on her door and told her that Q had been shot by police.
