According to the Houston Police Department, the 55-year-old man was involved in an accident at an unknown location around 4:30am. He drove his wrecked pickup a short distance and then backed it into a ditch on Ramin near Laura Koppe, not far from his home.
After the man parked the truck, police tell us he got out and started walking south down Ramin. That's when an unknown vehicle struck and killed him, officials said.
A passerby found the victim lying in the street and called 911. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released.
Police are requesting that anyone with information on this case call HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
