Authorities were looking into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of a man and a woman at an apartment complex in Dania Beach early Monday morning.

The Broward Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a "suspicious situation" near the 600 block of East Dania Beach Boulevard around 1:47 a.m. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene. A man was also found and was taken to a hospital, where he later died, authorities said.

More than two dozen deputies were seen Monday morning surrounding the Elevate apartment complex, located between Southeast Fifth Avenue and Gulf Stream Road. 

A neighbor who stepped out of her apartment after the incident told CBS News Miami she witnessed a very violent scene

"She moved there with a guy, but I only saw her with a dog … she has a doorbell camera, she has everything, but there was so much blood there," Cicely Williams said in reference to the female victim. "There's a lot of blood on the wall, I don't know if she was running trying to get away, there's blood everywhere." 

A mobile command center had been set up in front of the building as investigators worked to piece together what happened. BSO's Homicide and Crime Scene Units were handling the investigation. 

Authorities have not released further details.
