“The investigation is in its infancy. We are still gathering information so the scene will be held as long as it takes and I can’t really give you a definitive answer how long that will take.”

Traffic was shut down on 28 Avenue N.E. for some time while officers secured the scene.

An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday.
