Michael Pryor, a neighbor, said the 69-year-old veteran lived alone in the second-floor apartment for the past four years.

Pryor said the victim was most likely shot on the second floor in front of his apartment and made his way to the first floor. There was a trail of blood from the second to the first floor.
