A man was found deceased inside his Midtown apartment yesterday, stirring an investigation by the Houston Police Department. After the apartment's management and police were alerted by neighbors who hadn't seen the man throughout the day, the body was located, revealing signs of blunt-force trauma, as reported by ABC13.

The incident unfolded at an apartment complex on Gray Street near the Gulf Freeway. Police were called to the scene around 2 p.m. when a woman requested medical assistance for the man, stating in a conversation with KHOU that he "needed medical attention."
