Lt. Randy Dobbins said Saturday afternoon that no arrests had been made.
He said investigators were interviewing a number of people and also checking
on a number of leads.
Dobbins declined to talk about a possible motive or whether police have any suspects.
"It's too early in the investigation to say anything more," he said.
Patrick Ward, 40, a resident of the neighborhood, said he was awakened by a woman
screaming, followed seconds later by the sound of gunshots.
"They were bloodcurdling screams," he said.
"It was the screams that woke me up."
"Then I heard the shots," he said. "Boom, boom, boom."
And the screaming stopped, he said.
Ward said he looked out a front window and saw a man running in the middle
of the street, going west on Everglade toward North Hayston Avenue, about a half-block away.
Ward said he called the 911 operator to report what he had heard.
Ward's mother, Doris Ward, said she, too, was awakened by the screams.
"It was pretty shocking," she said.
The Wards and another neighbor, Hersie Stovall, 46, said they didn't know the
victim, who would often drive up in a white sports utility vehicle to visit
the residents of the house on Everglade.
A white sports utility vehicle was towed away by police for evidence.
Authorities said the victim was employed at Table Mountain Casino, but casino
spokesman Brian Maldonado said company policy prevented him from disclosing
any employee information.
Both the Wards and Stovall said they did not know too much about the residents
of the house — two young men — who moved in about four months ago.
One of the residents was interviewed at police headquarters and then returned
to the home hours later.
Visibly upset, the man declined to be interviewed by The Bee.

of any violence around here."
The case has been assigned to homicide detective Carlos Leal. Anyone with
any information is asked to call Leal at (559) 621-2452.
