Witnesses recounted the chaotic scene. One witness, who works across the street, described the aftermath: “We looked into the window to see if people were inside the shop, the Boost Mobile. The dude was fine. We asked him if he wanted us to break the window or something so he could come out. He said, ‘no, we’re fine.’ It’s crazy, I mean, that’s how it is in the hood, you know. Crazy stuff happens. We get used to this.”
