ODESSA, TX — FBI and ATF agents executed a search warrant at the West Texas shooter's house.

CNN spoke with Maisy Oliver, a neighbor of the accused shooter. Oliver lives down the street from where investigators were still searching on Sunday night.

She says she has her own gun and is experienced shooting it, but the gunshots she heard these past three months were different.

"There is also times where maybe like three in the morning, where you would hear an automatic weapon going off until up until 5:00 in the morning during the week, not just the weekends," said Oliver. "But people do shoot out here without consent for the cops. But that was like a consistent consistent stop until 3:00 to 5:00 in the morning. It would wake us up."

Oliver said she would see cops all the time trying to figure out where it was coming from.

"So that was that was pretty scary, like it sounded like it was a knocking on the door, and there wasn't. It was actually an automatic weapon," said Oliver.

Another family that lives down the way also said they heard gunshots ringing all through the night.

"I hear gunshots all over the place," said Daniel Rodriguez, neighbor of the accused shooter.

Both neighbors said that he kept to himself, and they would only ever see him speeding down the street or slowing down and driving very slow when their children were outside playing.

"To think that you have something like a person like that behind your house," said Rodriguez. "I mean, he's just, I could see his house clearly if I go behind my yard and it's not even that far away. It's just scary. You know to have to live like that. Now we don't even feel safe here anymore."
