Neighbor Victoria Otdielnova said she didn’t realize the man killed, once played in the NBA. "I’m shocked because I didn’t really know," she added.

"I heard and saw the guy yelling. I think he was the one that got shot," neighbor Nick Ponti told FOX 35 News.

Investigators said the accused gunman, 29-year-old Lawrence Dority, stayed at the scene and was then taken to the sheriff's office for questioning.  "The shooter stayed and was helping police," explained neighbor Jessica Martinez.

Residents said this is usually a quiet neighborhood.

"We were very scared," Otdielnova added. "We saw everything through the window, and we were terrified." 

On August 21, 2017, Payne signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic. He reportedly spent the majority of the 2017–18 season with Orlando's NBA G League affiliate, the Lakeland Magic. Payne also played for the Timberwolves and in college at Michigan State University.

Dority was arrested on a warrant for first-degree murder and booked into the Orange County Jail. No other details have been released. Check back for updates.
