Neighbours who spoke to CTV News said they didn’t see or hear anything Monday morning.
"A lot of police cars, ambulance, fire trucks were here," said one resident.
She describes the building as friendly place where most people know each other.
"Mostly we say hello or how are you or whatever. Sometimes we sit in the lobby and we talk, but overall, everyone is pretty upset about it."
Officers continue to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses and tips in the case.
“The investigation is ongoing by members of our Major Crime Unit, Forensic Identification Unit and General Investigations Unit,” Const. Brad Hickey said.
