The maintenance man then pulled a gun and shot the two. He was taken to a hospital, treated for injuries and arrested.Two teens did not live in the apartment building, but Bell's aunt, Donette Williams, did.She said Bell and Miller were engaged and had two children."(He) was the kind of person that was lovable, was respectable," Williams said.Williams was watching the couple's child and said they were picking up their baby when the fight began."All I could hear was screaming in the hallway, and when I went out, my nephew had him like this (was holding him), and I heard she hit him with a bat," Williams said.When the maintenance man pulled out a gun, Williams said she ran back in her apartment."I ran with his baby in my arms," Williams said.She's said Bell wasn't there to rob anyone, or get in a fight, he was just picking up his baby.VIDEO: Aunt of shooting victim says teens were picking up baby"This family right here is really grieving, and we really want to know what really happened, because ain't no way they should've been in that hallway, dead, just like I seen them," Williams said.Prosecutors have cellphone video of part of the incident, which is something Williams is grateful for."We would love to see it because we would love to see the part of the story that they say they have, and nobody come forward but me.
