The townhouse complex, called Margaret香蕉视频直播檚 Landing, was built by Ki-Lo-Na Friendship Society with the support of BC Housing and the Aboriginal Housing Management Association, with construction completed and opened to tenants this fall.
A resident of the complex told Black Press Media on Monday morning he received a call from a neighbour that night complaining about excessive noise.
He went to the unit, where he found a trail of blood leading through the house to the driveway where he found the body lying in a pool of blood.
A 32-year-old woman was arrested at the scene. She has been released with no charge as officers continue to investigate.

The RCMP said it appears to be an isolated incident.
Cholette was scheduled to appear in a Kelowna courtroom on an assault charge related to a January 2020 incident in Riske Creek, B.C. on Friday. He has an adult criminal history dating back to 2012 with several convictions including robbery and assault.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
