SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV) -
It's Sioux City's first murder case of the year and a shock to those who live in this quiet Northside neighborhood.
Neighbors say the 500 block of 39th Street Place is generally calm. It's just south of the Sioux City Country Club.
But some homeowners woke up this morning to see police investigating a crime scene.
"They were walking around the yard doing various things and didn't seem to be too terribly concerned. So, we have no idea what was happening. Very unusual to have something like this in this neighborhood," said Rusty Clark, a neighbor.
Sioux City Police Chief Doug Young credits the watchful eyes of a neighbor for alerting them to what was going on in the early morning hours.
