Residents of the surrounding Woodforest neighborhood said racial tensions have flared in recent years as the middle-class area diversified. Randrell Alexander, 41, has lived in the vicinity for two decades, and said she has had runs-ins with white shoppers at the Walmart near the shooting scene and had avoided the store for several days after the shooting. She returned Friday, but her 13-year-old son refused to go.
