Homicide crews are investigating after waste collection workers Monday morning found a man fatally wounded in the road in Dayton.

Police responded around 8:20 a.m. to the area near the intersection of Stanford Place and Harold Drive after a Dayton Public Works employee called and said a waste collection crew said they found a body in the road.

“There is [what] they think is a deceased man laying in the street,” the caller said. “He’s bloody.”

The caller said the workers weren’t sure what happened to the man, but that his clothes were bloody.

Crews were still on the scene around 10:30 a.m. and were placing evidence markers in the street and near a house with boarded-up windows.
