HOUSTON — Houston police said a man was found dead Wednesday night on a bike path in the Greater Third Ward.
The man was found with gunshot wounds on a bike trail in the 3100 block of Anita Street, according to HPD. Police said they don't know how long the man had been laying on the bike trail, but believe the incident happened during daylight hours.
