"The identity of the suspect is not being shared currently as the investigation is ongoing and evidence is still being collected.

"An arrest has not been made but it is not believed the suspect poses a risk to the community."
The homicide investigation is continuing and residents are asked to check yards, property and garbage bins and to report anything that seems out of the ordinary to police.
