Neighbors told FOX 11 they woke up to the sound of a woman screaming for help.

"When I came out, they go, 'oh my God, call the cops. Please help us, help us. My brother's dying.' The whole railing is full of blood and it's ugly. And it's like a horror movie. It's just dripping like that," a neighbor said.
