San Diego Police are investigating a "suspicious death" on the 6800 block of Panimint Row in the Bay Terraces neighborhood.
The incident happened at approximately 9:12 a.m. Sunday, when police said they responded to a 911 call about a severely injured man.
When they arrived, they found a man in his 40s in the parking lot area. The man appeared to have suffered blunt force trauma to his torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
An officer on scene said the body lying in a carport was a man that appeared to be homeless.
A neighbor said the man's body was found by another neighbor who then called 911. The man looked beaten and his nose broken. He was found lying shirtless, a neighbor said.
Another neighbor in the area described the scene as "shocking" and said her son told her about the body.
Homicide Unit Investigators were called to the scene as a cautionary measure, Hastings said, since investigators said they did not know how the man sustained his injuries.
