One neighbor said the suspect came to her house that night before the shooting just after 11 p.m. and tried repeatedly to open the door.
She said when she opened the door he told her he thought his mother lived there and tried again to get in but she was able to close and lock it.
She heard the gunshot just minutes after the suspect left her house, FOX 12 reported.
The homeowner has not been charged.
