Before police arrived to the scene, one resident said he was up late playing video games. Even though he was wearing headphones, he said he heard a loud commotion outside.

Numerous residents told KTVU they heard yelling also, but didn’t know who it was or what it was about.
Authorities have not yet released information about the motive of the shooting.
