It was a chaotic scne as family members tried to find out if their loved ones were shot.

"They were just hanging out. He was just chilling. Came to my cousin's house to chill with family," Jazmyn said. 

Javon Parker just became a father and had been living with his girlfriend and their baby in Warren.
