Police said Howard was seen arguing with a male in the yard prior to the shooting.

After shots were fired, the male was seen running toward Houston Street, according to a Crime Stoppers report. The male was wearing a camouflaged mask, gray T-shirt and dark-colored pants.

Witnesses told police that a dark blue truck was seen driving with its lights off after the shooting.
