A homeowner there said police were on his driveway just before 6 a.m., surrounding an SUV with a victim inside.

"I made some coffee, saw some cops show up, an ambulance show up, and next thing I know, there was a car in front of my driveway, and they told me it's a crime scene," Dan Lahaye said.

The homeowner said that vehicle was at the end of his driveway, and when he walked outside to talk to police, he noticed someone slumped over inside. But the officers didn't tell him much.

"They really couldn't give me any information," Lahaye said. "It was crazy, definitely stressful."

Lahaye says police did assure him there was no threat to the community.

"Everything's safe, everything's under control. I know after the body, they were at the other houses within, like, 15 minutes, so they kind of knew, I think, what was going on," he said.
