Michael Zebuhr, 25, was shot in the head during a robbery attempt Saturday night.
Witnesses who called 911 are still traumatized by what they saw.
"Every time you walk down the street, you remember the night that it happened and what you saw that night," said Kris Houlton who called 911.
"I think it's been kind of difficult for me, just experiencing that in my own neighborhood," said Susan Kang, who also called 911.
Roommates Kang and Houlton were in their Girard Avenue apartment last Saturday when they heard gunfire on the street.
"I saw someone running away, though it was one person and so I can't say whether that was the perpetrator," Houlton said. "The minute we heard the gunshot, we ran onto the street and so did everybody else."
When the roommates and other neighbors saw how severely Zebuhr was injured, they sprang into action.
"There was a definite crowd of people," Houlton said. "It wasn't as though they were abandoned."
Many used their cell phones to call for help. 911 records show one caller said, "Brother shot in head ... not breathing."
Another said the caller saw two men in their early 20s, one wearing a Raiders jacket and the other wearing a red baseball cap. The two men then got into a white two-door car.
"It was dark enough, it was completely understandable to me with the darkness compounded with the trauma, makes it, it would make it hard to make an identification," Houlton said.
