Forensic investigators and police K-9 teams have been combing through sections of the park, and officers at the scene say yellow tape as been up since before 9 this morning.

One man NEWS 1130 spoke to, who was among a group of people playing tennis, says the police tape was already up when he arrived around that time. He says a movie or show was filming in a different section of the park last night, but the group says they’ve always felt safe in the park even at night.
