Hyman spoke to a neighbor who heard the gunshots.

"While I was upstairs in my room, it was about 3:50. I just heard two gunshots. It was 'pop! pop!'," Robert Little said.

Police concentrated on one house in the area. At least three neighbors told Channel 2 Action News there's been trouble there in the past. "Not safe because we have children in the neighborhood," Helen Brathwait said.

"About a month ago, there was some gunshots. I walked up there and there was already, like, three gunshots into the garage," Little said.

Police are searching the area for possible witnesses and video surveillance.

UPS sent us the following statement: "We are cooperating with authorities and cannot comment during an ongoing investigation. We hope the best for our driver."
