A preliminary investigation determined the victim was at the complex to meet with another male.
In the aftermath of the incident, Oladipo Oyeneyia, a tenant residing in the apartment complex, expressed his concerns and unease about the situation.
"It makes me feel uncomfortable that we are not safe because if someone can shoot somebody here, then any of us can be shot and die," Oyeneyia said.
He recalled a similar shooting incident that had taken place outside his balcony three years ago, which he had promptly reported to the police. This recent event has left him feeling unsafe in his current living environment.
