"I'm going right now through my own grief, because I took that kid when he was little, all the way to school...and to get a call that he's gone. That really took a lot from me," said one neighbor named Barbara.
Other neighbors were surprised and devastated as they walked into the building's lobby and looked at pictures of the father of three surrounded by candles and balloons.
"It's hard not to be affected. It's hard not to be concerned because just like him, there's a lot of youth out here," said another neighbor named Anthony.
Police urge anyone who knows anything to contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline.
