Fernandez said they are reviewing security camera footage in the area to try to provide any suspect information and piece together the series of events.
Investigators said they are looking to identify the driver of a flat black matte 2016 Audi RS7.
“The victim did have a reason for being here. He did know people in the area, but he wasn’t from this building,” Fernandez added.
