The victim's name is Joseph Race, whom his landlord and friend, Christopher Jordano, described as a "tough guy." After being shot in the abdomen, he fought off his attacker and called 911.
“It’s strange to think of something like this happening in a peaceful, safe neighborhood where we all contributed.”
-- Priscilla Rueger, 82, who lived near the trailer where Tuesday's shooting occurred
