A neighbour, who gave his name as Tip, told Global News he called police when he was awoken by the altercation.
“I heard this blood curdling noise and screaming from a girl. I thought I was dreaming. And a guy was screaming as well,” he said.
“I got up and looked out the window I could see three people out there scuffling, so I called 911 right away and they responded really quickly, like half a minute. And when the police came in they were doing CPR right through.”
