"To know this is happening three, four houses down is unfathomable," said Joshua Trejos.
Police say they identified the suspected gunman as 42-year-old Ruben Santos Auxume-Guerra. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Task Force found the man at a home in DeKalb County on Thursday.
Auxume-Guerra is charged with malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes.
Investigators believe the shooting was a "domestic issue" between Hernandez and Auxume-Guerra.
He remains in custody at the Gwinnett County Jail.
