She reports that detectives have yellow crime scene tape up in a large area where there are several multi-family homes on Alexander Circle. That's just off of State Road 29, in the Farm Worker's Village.
Investigators say one person was killed just before midnight on Monday.
Neighbors tell Line that they heard what sounded like gunshots Monday night.
"I heard a couple of loud gunshot noises like crazy, but we really didn't even go outside to check," said Ernesto Calistro, a neighbor who lives across the street from where the man was found. "We just heard it and now we see everything that's going on, and you see all the cars, it's crazy.”
