The landlord then dragged the unnamed victim outside the residence, where he shot him several times in the head. Anson then walked back into the apartment, adjusted the thermostat and called 911, WSVN reported.
Police and paramedics responded to the scene and found the victim with gunshots. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died. Neighbor Leyani Perez described the shooting to local reporters. “‘Boom, boom, boom.’ Like three big noises that I wasn’t sure there was a gunshot, but I was sure that something wrong was happening,” Perez told the outlet.
