Authorities in Houston are in the initial stages of an investigation after a male body, with age estimated to be between 35 and 40, was found deceased with apparent lacerations in an apartment that was in the midst of renovation. The discovery occurred at approximately 9 a.m. yesterday, at 5218 Farmer Street, as reported in a statement from the City of Houston News.
Responding to a call about a person down, HPD patrol officers arrived at the scene, only to be greeted by the grim work of Houston Fire Department paramedics, reporting a male found lifeless within the apartment's confines. The name of the deceased is yet to unfold, pending the identification process by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, which was noted in the city's official news release issued today.
Detectives from HPD's Homicide Division, identified as W. Huff and J. Nguyen, are piecing together the circumstances surrounding the death. The cause remains indefinite until the autopsy's findings bring some clarity to the situation, as mentioned in the official news release.
The HPD has extended a call for assistance, urging the public to contribute any information linked to the case. Individuals who might hold information are encouraged to bring forward their knowledge, by contacting the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
