TPD said the medical examiner will determine the cause of death. Investigators say there is no threat to the community.
The discovery has left neighbors in the gated, security-monitored community searching for answers.
Magdoli Miller, a Hunters Green resident, said she was shaken by the news.
"Petrified, petrified because I mean we pay here for safety," Miller said.
Miller said she couldn't understand how something like this could happen in a community known for its quiet streets.
"To know that nobody knows anything and so it's, it's very scary," Miller said. "We want to know what happened because it, it's concerning for all of us."
Fellow resident Mariana Torres said she was caught off guard by the news.
"I feel surprised about this," Torres said. "I have almost two years here and never, never — I have seen something like this honestly — the first time," Torres said.
Torres said the incident served as a reminder to stay vigilant.
"You never know who is your neighbor, and many situations happen, and we need to be careful about that," Torres said.
