Homicide detectives are investigating after a security guard was found in the stairwell of a central Edmonton apartment building early Friday before later being pronounced dead.
In a news release, police said officers were called to a building in the area of 106th Street and 107th Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. after someone reported hearing a gunshot.
When officers arrived, they found a 20-year-old security guard. Police said he was unresponsive but lifesaving efforts were made before paramedics took him to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.
Police vehicles could still be seen outside the building late Friday morning and police tape surrounded the apartment building.
