Houston firefighters were called around 8:40 p.m. to a seemingly deserted area in the 20900 block of Birnamwood Boulevard and Richey, near IAH Airport.
According to authorities, while battling the flames, HFD discovered the body of a man in the rubble.
After further investigation by Houston police, it was determined that the body also had at least one gunshot wound, making the case even more peculiar.

The identity of the victim has not been confirmed.
Officials have not released any information on the suspect.
