Neighbors say the building is normally quiet unless there is a convention across the street -- they don't remember anything this serious happening before.

"I have a friend in the building and I have to ask her what happened, if they are okay or something like that but they were OK," said Cecilia Melendez, owner of Casa Guzmania.

The victim's name was not released. A motive for the death is being investigated.

The death is the city's eighth homicide this year.
