DALLAS SHOOTING
CONCERN OVER VIOLENCE GROWS AFTER TEEN KILLED
Neighbors said the shooting happened so fast they were not sure what had happened.
"When I heard it, I was on the couch," Sherrell Moore said. Moore lives a few feet from where the shooting occurred. "I just got on the ground, and then a few minutes later I just heard screaming. And that's when I came outside."
Moore said she remembers the victim, Savannah Rodriguez, as a kind girl who was often seen feeding her cats.
"She was really friendly," Moore said.
Tammy, a close friend of the victim's family said she first heard of the shooting through a Facebook livestream that showed the aftermath.
Somebody was going live and I got on the live. I was like, 'Oh this is over by where I lived at,'" Tammy said.
Neighbors worry the fatal shooting could lead to more violence in the area.
"I'm thinking it's goin' to pick back up. I don't know," Tammy said. "I don't know if it will ever stop."
