Halifax police are investigating a homicide in the city after human remains were found Thursday.

Police say they conducted a well-being check at Quingate Place, a condo complex off Quinpool Road, around 9:40 a.m. AT.

They found the body of a woman when they arrived, and the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities say they do not believe the incident is random.

On Friday, police issued a release asking for help finding a person of interest in the investigation. That person has since been located.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers. Police are also seeking video from the area.
