"It just sounded like big pops, three pops," neighbor Peggy Fauber said.

On Tuesday, a memorial in the shape of an "A" marks the sport where Hudgins took his final breaths.

Fauber, who has lived along the street for more than 50 years, said the loud gunshots pulled her from her bed and the uncertainty of what happened kept her awake.

"I did hear some yelling someone saying 'I need my keys,' and they started slamming the screen door a couple times," she said. "And the fire trucks ambulances and police showed up."

While police try to piece together a motive and capture a suspect, neighbors said they long for their peace of mind back.

"Now there is a different atmosphere because the people I do speak to say stuff like 'This is getting too close to home,'" Fauber said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 410-307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
