Almost immediately after hearing the gunfire, Ms. Soto said, several police vehicles pulled up. The neighborhood is typically quiet and peaceful, and it is largely Hispanic, said Ms. Soto, a manager at a nearby big-box store. Hector Gomez and Edgar Gonzalez work at a roofing business located on the first floor of the building where the shooting occurred. The two men, along with residents who were at the scene on Wednesday night, said they believed the shooting had unfolded at a real estate office on the second floor. Mr. Gomez said the woman who ran the office sold mobile homes and would often bring her son with her to the building.
