There was no sign of a police presence in the area of Oaklawn Crescent and Tenth Line Road Thursday morning. Some police tape remained on a tree leading to a pathway between Oaklawn and Tenth Line.
Resident Nick Iraci says he heard a "pretty intense" police presence in the neighbourhood just after 9 p.m.
"We could see the police going up and down Tenth Line….it seemed like maybe they were chasing someone but we weren't exactly sure," Iraci said.
Iraci tells CTV News Ottawa he did not hear any gun shots last night.
Area residents say word of a shooting in the neighbourhood is scary.
"We've got a bunch of kids in this house too, so it's a little scary to think that someone was at large with a gun," Marie Pier said.
This is Ottawa's 13th homicide of 2023.
