White said the block party has been a neighborhood tradition for more than 10 years. He said there had never been any problems before Saturday night.

“We were hiding in the kitchen trying to keep a low profile,” he said.

Many people are disappointed that this may be the last block party.

“I know this is something the community has been looking forward to,” Wilson said. “It’s sad that we can’t do anything positive and fun for the community anymore.”

Some neighbors told Counts the 44-year-old woman was trying to be a peacemaker when she was shot and killed. Police have not confirmed whether this is true.

Police have not released any further information about what led to the shooting.
