It is unclear whether the shooting took place on the street or somewhere else.
Raul Chapa said he thought someone was seriously injured or killed based on the number of gunshots he heard.
“I thought they were just shooting in the air. Five minutes later an ambulance is already there.”
Police said the victim was taken to a hospital where he later died.
Chapa said his instincts told him to throw himself on the floor and under the bed.
Chapa has been living in his NE Oklahoma City apartment for about a year. He said shootings are not uncommon.
