The victim has been identified as 23-year-old Jamie Lynn Scheible of Calgary.

Officers searched the home and surrounding area for evidence and remained at the scene Thursday night and throughout much of the day Friday.

A statement from the Scheible family said they were “devastated” by Jaime’s death, recalling her as a “loving and kind person who was always helping others” and “always brought a smile to our faces.”

“She is beloved by many friends, and was the best mother, big sister, daughter and granddaughter,” the statement read, asking for privacy while in mourning. “We adore her and are overwhelmed with grief.”

Neighbours tell Global News they have seen police at the home many times.

“I’ve got kids. It’s scary… it’s scary. I just fear for my kids’ safety,” said neighbour Abdulsalam Abdulghni.
