'This is getting to a point where it's getting scarier'
Residents at the Driftwood Apartments were left shaken Friday after a 24-year-old man was found dead with a gunshot wound after a confrontation at the complex.
Norma Pena, a housekeeper for the apartment complex, said this is not the first time a violent incident has happened there.
"This is getting to a point where it's getting scarier," she said.
Pena said she was sitting outside when she heard the gunshots.
"I turned around and called 911 and gave them the description and everything," she said. "You could hear them arguing up there, 'look what you did, look what you did.' "
The housekeeper said she worries for her safety and other residents' safety.
"We have kids running around here and playing around and these people are out of control," Pena said. "Every time we call it takes them [police] hours, seven hours to come out here. And when there's a shooting or something they come out."
