DETROIT – A 41-year-old man was shot dead early Monday morning while sitting on the porch of a home on Detroit's east side.

Police tell Local 4 this incident was a drive-by shooting.  A car drove up to the house in the 1400 block of Carlisle Street at about 2 a.m. and fired shots.

Several people on the porch were able to escape the gunfire, but the man died from his gunshot wounds.

People woken up by sound of gun shots

Neighbors on Carlisle Street thought their homes were in the middle of a gun range Monday morning.

The violence has struck a nerve with neighbors like James Parker, who says he just doesn't feel safe anymore.

"I heard loud shots," says Parker. "I told my wife to get down. It was pretty quick."

Parker says he was unsure how many gunshots were fired.

"I thought there was some type of confrontation," says Parker.

Signs are posted throughout the neighborhood warning criminals the community is under surveillance. Regardless, this didn't scare away the gun men who sprayed these homes.

"I'd like to see police patrol a little bit more," says Parker.

No arrests have been made.  Anyone with information related to incident is asked to call Detroit police at 313-596-5240.
