Will Houston Heights neighbors stand up and demand more lighting on trail now?
Today is a sad day for everyone here in the Houston Heights. I jog here almost every week, and it doesn't surprise me that I would have found someone injured, but I didn't think it would be this bad. Someone has been killed here, Police suspect foul play due to his head trauma.
A passing jogger found the man said Sgt.Hector who is the HPD homicide investigator. The jogger happened to notice the man not breathing and stopped a patrol unit.
I have been begging everyone to sign our petition for more lighting on the trail and general Heights blvd., I can barely see sometimes at 5 am and have fallen numerous times throughout the years. I was robbed once at gun point, and guess for what? A Texans Hat...
Well love you guys, be safe out there.

Message me if you want to sign the petition for more lighting
