“No arrests have been made in this investigation,” said Staff Sgt. Colin Derksen with the Edmonton homicide section.
Police had responded to a weapons complaint that morning. When they arrived at the building, residents told police they had heard gunshots
The building was cordoned off for several hours while police investigated. A trail of blood could be seen from the front of the building to the back parking lot.
Derksen said police are looking for more information from anyone who may have been in the area.
