HOUSTON – A man was found dead outside of a car in an area of southwest Houston known for prostitution, police said Saturday morning.
Officers said they received a call of a person down in a secluded parking lot in the 9700 block of Bissonnet Street near Country Creek Street at around 12:15 a.m.
Police said the area is well-known for prostitution activity and they believe the man, possibly in his 40s, may have been involved.
