Neighbors said there were signs of a struggle in a hallway on the 8th floor, the top floor of the building.
“A lot of blood on her door, then you see it come down the hallway, on the floor, by the elevator, you see it on someone else’s door, so it’s just blood," resident Cicely Williams said.
Officials said the two deaths were the result of an isolated incident," and that there were no threats to the community.
The incident remains under investigation.
