"The sister, I guess was screaming no no no and the police came like 10 minutes later," Tamplin said.
Those screams came from Cunningham's sister Monday morning, who police confirm witnessed the violence.
"It's crazy, me and my kids live here. You wouldn't think nothing like this would happen," Tamplin said.
