Kenneth Lee says he never saw Markeith Loyd inside the vacant home on Lescot Lane where he was captured Tuesday.

But Lee, who lives just a few doors down, said if he had, he would have turned him in.

"It's good that the law did get him because if I would have seen him, I would have said something. You can call me a snitch or whatever you want to call me," said Lee.

Neighbors along the street in the Carver Shores community are surprised and relieved that Loyd is in police custody, captured not far from where Lt. Debra Clayton, the Orlando police officer Loyd is accused of killing, grew up.

"I went to school with Lt. Debra, that was the sweetest woman in the world. She would go out her way for you. I don't care if she was a law officer," Lee said.

When you take a look inside the vacant home, you can't help but notice a medical toilet and a wig, among scattered oddities. Code enforcement signs cite the property for dead trees and limbs and other trash and debris.

Neighbors are left wondering how Loyd traveled 8 miles from the Rosemont neighborhood where he last seen on Monday, Jan. 9, to Carver Shores in west Orlando.

"Being that he ended up over here, I don't think he walked over here. I don't think he caught the city bus over here," Lee questioned.

Up until now, Christopher Ham had innocently taken his 10-month-old son Christopher Jr for walks in their neighborhood.

"You can't walk around no more with your eyes closed. You gotta keep them open now. You'll never who's next to you," said Ham, who lives nearby.

At one point, Orlando Police went back into the vacant home with guns drawn Wednesday to make sure no one else was there.

However, that's nothing compared to the number of officers it took to bring Loyd into custody Tuesday night.

"Undercover trucks pulled up. They blocked off each street. We didn't know what was going on," Ham recalled.

"Next thing you know, about 15 more came from that way. They blocked streets off from all the way down there to all the way to the top right there," Ham added.

Loyd's arrest is reassuring for Carver Shores.

"To have him off the street is a relief," Lee said. "Now the kids can come out and play. The dogs can come out and bark and the birds can twerp, twerp, twerp in the trees."
