“I seen a bunch of people crying and something I didn’t want to see. I saw a body on the ground,” said Tyreek. “That makes me kind of scared.”
Family and friends identified one of the victims as Jennifer Bellony, and said she was beautiful, positive and loved children.
“I could tell, the way she could talk about my own kids … it’s one of those things I would only expect to see on the news,” said Antoine Lucien, a family friend.

The shooting remains under investigation.
Police said they are looking for 34-year-old Andre Anglin.
