LYNN — The life of Romel Danis, 25, came to an end across the street from Maribel Thomas’s front door, struck down early Saturday by gunfire from the shadows of a nearby driveway.

Thomas, 52, was awake at the time of the shooting and watched as police tried to keep Danis alive.

“I can still see him as he took his last breath, and could see the life sucked out of him,’’ she said Sunday afternoon.

Officials on Sunday continued their investigation into the deadly shooting, which occurred around 2 a.m. and left two other men with gunshot wounds, according to the Essex district attorney’s office.

On Sunday, one of the men injured in the attack was released from Massachusetts General Hospital, while the remaining victim was listed in stable condition, according to an e-mail from Carrie Kimball Monahan, a spokeswoman for the DA’s office.

Lynn police were responding to a report of a loud party when officers heard gunshots nearby.

Officers who rushed to the shooting scene found three men who had been shot, according to Lieutenant Michael Kmiec, a Lynn police spokesman.

Kmiec said in an e-mail that Danis’s death is the second murder in Lynn this year. In 2017, there were 12 murders in the city, he said.

Thomas’s home surveillance system recorded video of the attack.

She played a copy of that video on her cellphone, which showed two figures walking up Lawton Avenue around 2 a.m. They stand in the shadows near a parked Jeep.

A few moments later, the video shows three men walking down the street toward the Jeep. As they pass by the two other figures, bright flashes of light appear from the shadows — gun shots — and the three men run toward the Jeep.

One man opens a driver’s side door, and helps another victim in, who slumps over the seat. The man who opened the door runs around the car and falls to the ground. The third victim, who Thomas said was shot in the leg, ran a short distance and fell down outside a neighboring house.

After the shooting ended, the recording shows the two figures who were in the shadows running from the scene.

A few seconds later, two police officers with their guns drawn walk down Lawton Avenue and spot the victims. An officer can be seen pulling one man off the seat and he appears to give him medical attention.

By Sunday afternoon, dozens of candles had been placed at the scene of the shooting, where photos of Danis and notes with small hand-drawn hearts were attached to a telephone pole.

A group of young women sat by the candles, including one who gave her name as Lexy and said she was Danis’s past girlfriend. The couple had dated for six years, she said.

The 25-year-old used a marker to write a note on the side of one of the candles at the memorial.

“He was always smiling,’’ Lexy said. “He had a good heart.’’

Danis’s friends are still coming to grips with what happened, she said. It doesn’t make sense that Danis would have been shot because, Lexy said, “He would never be a part of anything bad.’’

Another mourner, a 22-year-old woman who declined to give her name, said she knew Danis from their days attending Lynn Vocational Technical Institute.

“He was always funny . . . the class clown,’’ said the woman. “Nobody knows what happened. He was such a good kid.’’

That scene unfolded across the street from Thomas’s home.

This shooting “is not what our community stands for,’’ said Thomas, who is the mother of three children and six grandchildren.

Thomas’s own family has grappled with violence. Her nephew, Denis Reynoso, was shot by Lynn police during a 2013 incident and died from his injuries. The Essex district attorney’s office said police were justified in using deadly force against Reynoso, after investigators said he grabbed an officer’s gun and fired two shots at police. She said Reynoso was shot in the back by a police officer.

On Sunday, as her grandchildren played in her driveway, she said she has thought about how to explain Danis’s death to them.

Lynn is the city where she raised her family, she said. It’s also where her grandchildren are growing up, and where they participate on local sports teams and play in the city’s parks.

And as Danis’s mourners gathered on Lawton Avenue, Thomas took in the image.

“You have kids at a memorial. They should be at a park playing,’’ Thomas said. “My heart is breaking for his mom.’’
