Family of 63-year-old man found stabbed to death in hallway of his apartment said he was unreachable for days

HOUSTON – A 63-year-old man was found dead with multiple stab wounds in the hallway of his north Harris County apartment Friday afternoon.

Deputies with the Harris County Precinct 4 Office responded to a call for service at an apartment complex located at 13875 Ella Blvd. near West Rankin Road around 1 p.m.

When officials arrived at the scene, deputies said the man was found dead in the hallway with multiple stab wounds.

The family told deputies they called for a welfare check after not hearing from the man for several days.

The investigation is still ongoing, but deputies said there was no sign of forced entry into the man’s apartment, and he’s the only person on the lease.
