It's believed by authorities that an argument happened during the party, resulting in shots being fired.
"It was pretty scary to hear the gunshots, I couldn't imagine seeing someone just drop dead and die in front of me, I couldn't imagine what the people there were feeling," said Johnathan Belcher
Belcher and his friends live near the building.
"I think we need to start putting guns down and putting fists up, it's really ignorant for people to have to shoot to get right with somebody," said Tito Lopez.
