Ron Waker, of Oakwood, is the property manager. He was called at 5 a.m. by a neighboring tenant and told about the fatal shooting.
Waker said there have been shootings before at his properties, but never a homicide. He said just a few months ago there was a fatal drug overdose in the same apartment.
“I’m used to drama; I own a couple hundred units and on a daily basis I have headaches,” Waker said.
The current tenant, Micala Knight, 23, has lived there since June. She’s now in Montgomery County Jail on an outstanding warrant for child restraint.
In the 911 call, Knight said her door was kicked in by two suspects dressed in all black.
