Lary Rogers said he heard more than five gun shots – and he tried to help the man who was shot. But he said the man died minutes later. 

"They were shooting over there I could still – and I called for the police to come over and call for an ambulance and they start running back over here and saw him on the porch and he was laying down by then," Rogers said. "I’m just sorry to see this type of stuff happening you know, it doesn’t make any sense."
