The third floor apartment was locked with a padlock Saturday morning and Crime Scene Investigation markers show where at least one bullet went through the inside of the apartment, crossed the hallway and struck the neighbor across the hallways's bathtub.
Denver Police don't believe the victim was a DU student and they don't believe this was a random killing.
There is no suspect description available at this time.
One neighbor told CBS4 he heard four or five shots.
