Ryan Carter, who was also playing basketball, said he is a lifelong resident of East Stuart, where he was born and raised for 30 years. "I've been coming out here since I was knee high," he said. "A lot of times, most of the time, if there is any conflicts or anything, it's really from outside," Carter added. There had been no shootings to date in 2016, after the community saw a spike in gunfire in 2015. (XAVIER MASCAREÑAS/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS)
