"It's shocking because it's not typical of the neighborhood. I feel bad for the family," Gerald McGregory, a neighborhood resident for three years, said.
"I can’t say it’s just the city or just the suburbs. You have to pay attention wherever you go."
Neighbors like Lorenzen are also encouraging others to take precautions.
"Be vigilant, don't leave the garage open, lock doors. It's a crime of opportunity," Lorenzen said.
The case was turned over to detectives to lead the investigation — which is still in its early stages and is ongoing.
Police will continue to search the neighborhood and follow up on leads, according to the release.
