Overview
- Walkers discovered a deceased person near the 8900 block of Country Creek Street by a bridge over Brays Bayou on Monday morning and officers responded to the scene.
- Houston Police Department says homicide detectives and the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office were called in to process the scene and begin an investigation.
- Authorities have not released the victim’s identity or an official cause of death and the inquiry is ongoing.
- One local outlet reported the victim appeared to be transgender and quoted police saying the death 'appears to be a murder,' but those details remain limited and not fully corroborated by officials.
- The finding follows other recent recoveries from Houston bayous, a pattern that police and residents say raises questions about links between waterway recoveries though no connections have been confirmed.
