Stevenson's roommates said they let her move into their apartment because she was homeless after having an argument with relatives. Carla Craig said she had only been home for a few minutes when she heard screaming and gunshots. 

"I heard like five or six shots," Craig said. 

One witness said they saw three men shooting when they ran past a window at the apartments. Craig said at the time of the shooting she thought the bullets were meant for her boyfriend.
