AUSTIN, Texas — Police are investigating after a body was found with "obvious signs of trauma" in southeast Austin.
According to Austin police, officers were called out to a disturbance at the Array Apartments on Burton Drive around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
When they arrived, police found a man in the parking lot and began performing life-saving measures. However, the man was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.
