Jason had 'a lot of blood at the end of his arms, like his hands weren't there', he said. Gregory had 'blood in the upper area'.
'This is definitely the craziest thing that's ever happened on this street,' he said. 'I just can't imagine anything like that happening between family.'
He described the father as a 'nice guy' who would walk his dog around the neighborhood.
He had only met the son once in eight years living there.
