Sheriff’s deputies identified a man found dead Tuesday morning on the Southeast Side as Allen Fredrick Charles, 23.
His body was found under the Interstate 10 overpass at South Craycroft Road about 12:50 a.m. by a man walking to a convenience market, sheriff’s spokeswoman Deputy Dawn Barkman said.
The passer-by flagged down a state Department of Public Safety officer when he noticed the body was still there when he returned from the market, Barkman said.
Charles appeared to be homeless, Barkman said, but he had kin in Michigan.
She said Charles sustained obvious wounds, but she would not elaborate.
Sheriff’s detectives are investigating and have yet to determine a motive.
Further details of the killing were not available.
