HOUSTON – A woman was found dead at a Westchase apartment complex Friday night and Houston police are investigating the case as a homicide.
Officers were called around 8:12 p.m. to the Woodland Park Apartments on Woodland Park Drive after receiving a report of an assault, according to Houston Police Department Lt. Pulido.
A 911 caller told dispatchers they had found a woman’s body lying on the ground at the apartment complex, police said.
When officers arrived, they found the woman dead. The Houston Fire Department responded to the scene and pronounced her dead.
Houston Police Homicide detectives and Crime Scene Unit investigators spent several hours processing the scene and searching for evidence.
Investigators were also canvassing the area for surveillance video and potential witnesses who may have information about what happened, Pulido said.
The woman is believed to have been in her mid-30s, but authorities had not identified her as of Saturday morning.
Police said they do not yet know whether the woman lived at the apartment complex or was visiting.
“We haven’t been able to identify her yet,” Pulido said. “We’re gonna have to wait for the autopsy. There’s no identifying markers or IDs left around.”
No information about a suspect or a possible motive was immediately released.
The investigation remains ongoing.
