Halifax Regional Police’s forensic team spent much of the day focusing on the parking lot outside the apartment at 24 Primrose Street, where a pool of blood could be seen near the building.
The section of road between Robert Burns Drive and Victoria Road remained closed for much of the day as police conducted their investigation.
They expect the road to reopen at 5 p.m.
No other details have been released and Halifax police declined an on-camera interview. Anyone with information is being asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
This is the sixth homicide in Halifax this year.
The most recent happened back on July 11, when an 85-year-old woman was killed in her home on Lynwood Drive in Dartmouth.
A 62-year-old man was later charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.
