His son called police after hearing gunshots on second floor, where a man lives. Hernandez says he doesn't know who was killed. He says he has recently been concerned about his tenant there.

"Lately, we noticed that he's been doing - some weird people coming in and out in the middle of the night," Hernandez said. "I was calling his attention, you know, 'What's going on?' Because 2 or 3 o'clock people going in and going out, going in and out."

Investigators did not say whether a suspect was in custody, but they did say they were working to establish a motive.
