Williams lives two buildings down from where the shots were fired and said that although he didn't hear the gunshots, he quickly found out that something was wrong.
"My mother woke me up and said it was some gunshots, my niece and my nephew heard it. And by the time I looked outside, it was a lot of police cars out here, and I saw the yellow tape. So I already knew what it meant," he said.
Police believe both victims were involved in the robbery.
Williams and other neighbors explained that they knew the victims and think that the whole situation is scary.
"Put the guns down and just do things the right way. Try to live the right way," he said.
