Authorities said the same residence was hit with 10 bullets in a shooting Tuesday night, though no one was injured, according to local ABC affiliate WJCL. Cops said investigators were stonewalled when asking about Tuesday night’s shooting.

City leaders begged for help investigating Friday night’s deadly shooting.

“If you know something say something because if not, we’ll be doing this again tomorrow night, and I do not want to do this again tomorrow night,” Mayor Van Johnson said in a press conference. “If you’re sick and tired of it, then do something about it.”
