While police did not release any other details about the homicide, Bobbie Boarders, who was outside when the shooting happened, said he heard at least eight gunshots.

"We were actually outside and we have to bring both my nieces in," Boarders said. "We were rushing in because we didn't get shot."

Boarders said it's not the first time something like this has happened.

"This is nothing new. This has happened in Portsmouth so much," Boarders said. "This happens during broad daylight and nighttime."
