The owner of a nearby late-night kebab store who left the crime scene around 3.30am Sunday also told police they did not see anything.
One person, believed to be a witness, was seen leading police around the area.
With the aid of sniffer dogs, police have uncovered possible weapons such as a baton and a large metal torch.
No arrests have been made.
