A man took a picture of men he thought looked suspicious in his neighborhood and wound up getting shot.
It happened on Warrington Drive in Orange County near the Lyme Bay Condos on Saturday.
Junior Rodriguez was doing what many people do on a Saturday morning: he was washing his truck.
Rodriguez said he approached three men who he thought looked suspicious near his neighbor's home. We were there as he returned home from the hospital.
He said he started asking them questions.
"I said I want to know why you are here. Do you live over here? He said 'oh, it's not your problem.' I said it is my problem, it's my property," said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said they started fighting and a gun was pulled out.
"A guy with a gun right in my face and he was about four feet from there to here," said Rodriguez.
During the struggle Rodriguez turned his back to the gunman, who fired. He said he knew he was hit.
"I could feel the heat, just the heat," Rodriguez said.
Now there's a bullet lodged in his lower back. He jokingly fears about having to go through airport security the next time he flies, but kidding aside, his family was terrified.
"I was scared, upset, just a roller coaster of emotions," his daughter Lilly Rodriguez said.
Deputies said crimes has been a problem in this area. People in the neighborhood said they are tired of it.
"It's just outrageous how it is out here. It's just uncontrollable," said Lilly Rodriguez.
"I got kids, I got granddaughters. We got to watch it," said Rodriguez.
He said his home has been broken into three times in the last five years, but right now he's just happy to be alive. Deputies said no one has been arrested, but they are currently following up on several leads.
