Officers launched a homicide investigation Tuesday after they conducted a welfare check and found a deceased man inside a house, a Little Rock police spokesman said.
Police spokesman officer Eric Barnes said officers responded Tuesday afternoon to 1919 S. Brown St. to do a welfare check after a dialysis center notified authorities a patient did not arrive.
Officers found the front door to the red brick house open and an adult male dead inside.
The residence is less than a mile from Little Rock Central High School.
Detectives obtained a search warrant and were beginning to process the scene as of 4 p.m.
