SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said a man was found dead with trauma to his head next to a “large pool of blood” at an abandoned business on the Northwest Side.
The body was found on Monday morning in the 2000 block of Fredericksburg Road, near West Rosewood Avenue.
SAPD said someone at the abandoned business had notified an officer about the man’s body.
The man, who appeared to be approximately 62 years old and experiencing homelessness, was found by police with head trauma, police stated.
It’s unclear when the man was killed, SAPD said. The department’s homicide unit is currently on the scene investigating.
It does appear to be a possible murder scene, police shared. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the man’s cause and manner of death.
