Ahmad Elhamoui was watching television with his young children when he heard the gunshot.
‘My daughter said it sounds like a car … I said “no no it sounds like gun shot”,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I stood at my door with the lights off and noticed two people arguing after the gun shot … you couldn’t hear what they were saying.
‘Then there were all these cars passing by and parking to the left. I don’t know what was happening, more cars came along from the other side … so they literally blocked the road.’
He said police arrived ten minutes later.
