They also saw that the police had cordoned off the area, with at least five police vehicles present.
Another female resident told Shin Min that all was peaceful till about 10.30pm, when police arrived and surrounded the car.
She also saw that a crime scene investigation vehicle had arrived.
Initially thinking it was an accident, she changed her mind when she saw a police dog instead of an ambulance.
The silver car that was left in the carpark had visible damage on its right side, she added.

It also had paint peeling off its left side and obvious scratches.
The police told Shin Min that they were alerted to an abandoned car in the carpark on Sunday morning.
Three male teenagers, aged from 13 to 17, were subsequently arrested.
They’re suspected of stealing the car.
Police are currently investigating the case.
The car was used for ride-sharing, Shin Min reported.
It’s also believed that the three teenagers had quietly driven the car away but met with an accident in the process.
This caused damage to the car and also led to the police being alerted.
