Upon arrival, deputies found the man dead with at least one gunshot wound.
Deputies don't believe anyone witnessed the actual shooting but instead came outside after hearing the gunshot.
According to Lt. Paul Bruce, someone saw the man's body in the roadway and flagged down an on-duty Spring ISD police officer.
The man was reportedly shot in the face. He was described as a Hispanic or Middle Eastern man in his mid-20s.
Deputies said it is unclear what exactly led up to the shooting or if the man lived at the apartment complex.
Investigators are canvassing the area, looking for witnesses and surveillance cameras.
