One of the victims is 66-year-old Jerome Johnson.

“Can’t really say that he’s gone. I really don’t believe it. I’m waiting on a phone call because I can’t believe it,” said Takela Glover, Johnson’s daughter.

Glover told Channel 2′s Tom Regan that she was Johnson’s only child. Glover said her father had been living at a multi-tenant house on Bolton Road when someone entered the house Saturday morning and opened fire on her father and another man.

“My dad was in the dining room, and the other man was at the door. My father was shot multiple times,” said Glover.
