Detectives continued to search for evidence through the morning after one person was killed in a Riverside shooting. Residents say the situation has made them fear for their safety. Melissa Etezadi reports for the NBC4 News at Noon on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.

A man was found shot to death following what police described as an "exchange of gunfire" early Tuesday in Riverside.

Witnesses reported hearing around 15 shots in the area of Eucalyptus and Vermont avenues at around 1:30 a.m, a Riverside Police Department spokesman said. Officers found a 33-year-old Riverside man dead at the scene.

The individual was likely involved in a shootout with other gunmen, police said.
