Another neighbor described seeing police vehicles arrive early in the morning. “There were a lot of officers, and the street was quickly blocked off. It was alarming.”

Police reiterated that there is no ongoing danger and asked the public to avoid speculation while the investigation remains active. Officials indicated that more information would be released once next-of-kin notifications are completed and preliminary findings are confirmed.
