A woman’s body was found Monday morning behind the Science and Engineering Classroom Building across the street from Fertitta Center.
UH police officers received a call about the body near Cullen Boulevard at around 9:30 a.m. Monday.
The cause of death is not yet known, but homicide detectives have responded to the scene, according the ABC13.
Update: The woman isn’t believed to be a student or affiliated with the University, according to a Houston Police Department official.
The woman, identified as an older Black female, appeared to be homeless, according to HPD assistant chief Sheryl Victorian.
