"Words don't explain the thoughts that come - for the person who was stabbed of course and for the family that's going to have to be involved in the situation," neighbour Maureen Dillon said.
Police searched the apartment building today, interviewing witnesses and seizing bags of evidence.
The 29-year-old from Toolangi was denied bail when he appeared briefly at the Melbourne Magistrates' court this morning.
Police said Mr Heron didn't appear to be under the influence of drugs and it is not known if the pair knew each other.
He was remanded in custody until he next appears in court on October 1.
