Multiple callers contacted dispatchers shortly before 3:30 a.m. July 19 after hearing repeated gunshots near Southeast Rivergreen Circle. The calls show residents trying to direct officers toward the shooting while remaining inside their homes as police rushed to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a shootout. Please, please,\u201d the caller told a dispatcher shortly after 3:28 a.m. July 19.<\/p>\n
When asked whether anyone had been hit, she answered, \u201cYes. Two people. I need help right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The caller repeatedly urged one of the wounded men to remain conscious.<\/p>\n
\u201cStay up. Breathe, baby. Breathe, baby, please,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s dying. Please help me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Officers responding to Southeast Rivergreen Circle found 24-year-old Carl Loubeau and 22-year-old Juliun Stokes suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Both were taken to hospitals, where they later died.<\/p>\n
The calls show how quickly the shooting unfolded. The first caller apparently mistook the gunfire for fireworks and asked police to check the area near the dog park because the noise had awakened his young daughter.<\/p>\n
Within seconds, other residents began reporting gunshots, screaming and people lying outside.<\/p>\n
One neighbor said about eight shots woke him but told the dispatcher he was too frightened to look outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t even want to look,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Another caller estimated hearing 10 shots, followed by a brief pause and another burst.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt got quiet for less than a minute, and then a couple more rounds went off,\u201d the caller said.<\/p>\n
A resident watching through a home security camera reported seeing someone lying in a driveway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking through my camera because I didn\u2019t want to go outside,\u201d the caller said. \u201cI woke up from the gunshots and the screaming, and I just see someone laying in the driveway.\u201d<\/p>\n
Man who returned fire calls 911<\/p>\n
The most significant call appears to have come from 20-year-old Dwayne Walker, whom investigators identified as the man who returned fire after Loubeau allegedly shot Stokes<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSomebody shot my cousin, and I shot back,\u201d Walker told a dispatcher. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Walker pleaded for police and paramedics to hurry, saying his cousin was not responding.<\/p>\n
