The victim, who appeared to be homeless based on his unkempt appearance, was sleeping in a bus stop shelter at the corner of Cullen and Holman on the University of Houston campus.  A student catching the bus to go to work found the victim lying on the bench bleeding from his head and then called 911.  Paramedics arrived and pronounced the man dead.
