The marina and docks have been closed since Sunday night. The area is blocked off with crime scene tape across the entrance to the marina parking lot.

Resident Charleen Rodgers said she didn’t hear any gunshots. When she came out her home, she heard the sirens and police started directing traffic at the corner of Watson and Baldwin avenues.

“I’ve never seen nothing like this,” she said.

Other neighbors said they also heard the shots and thought it was fireworks until the police started showing up.

Neighbors estimated at least 50 officers were in the area at one point.
