"You don't think about this stuff happening in Lodi"

Neighbors like Miguel Arias, who live near the park were stunned.

"It's really scary because like our community is a really safe community. You don't think about this stuff happening in Lodi," Arias said.

Michelle Milum's home faces the tracks about 100 yards from the scene.

"I do go for walks around the area and it makes me a little nervous to walk, and especially by myself," Milum said.

Arlene Baker has lived in the neighborhood for 45 years. Her home backs up to the railroad tracks.

"Ya know even with the parks, you have kids vandalizing and stuff but never anyone being killed," said Baker.
