Little Rock police said they are investigating as a homicide the death of a person whose body was found in the city early Monday.

The body was found near the 2700 block of Wright Avenue, a Twitter post made by the Little Rock Police Department just before 7:30 a.m. states. Police said the victim was male, though the department’s post doesn’t name him or provide his age.

Just after noon, the department posted an additional statement on Twitter indicating the person’s death was a homicide.

A dispatch log shows police responded to a “subject down” call at 2710 Wright Ave. at about 6:35 a.m.
