“I looked out my door, went out to my back door behind South Heights School,” said Shelly Allen, a Madison Street resident. “I had seen police chasing this car, it was a red car. Next thing I know I seen three guys jumped out. Then I heard like hard breaks come on, that’s when I heard a big thunk noise. I saw three guys jumped over the fence,” Allen told us. “I asked them what they was doing and they didn’t say anything they just jumped.”

In Morganfield, Residents on O’Bannon Street who know one of the victim’s family described to us what the scene was like before police arrived.

“I seen his wife crying and hollering,” a next-door neighbor anonymously told us. “I got out and ran over there. I tried to help as much as I can. My wife’s a nurse so I got her, and there was not much I could do at that point,” he said.

The coroner has identified the victims as 33-year-old Caesarrae Rapier and 28-year-old George Black Jr.
