HOUSTON — Houston police are investigating the strange death of a man found inside a pickup truck on the south side Monday.

The scene in the 3800 block of Alice Street, not far from Scott Street, is near Cullen Middle School and a daycare.
The man is described only as Hispanic, about 5'6 and 150 pounds. He was wearing a yellow work shirt and tan work boots.
