Julian Ahmed Karim, 29, was found dead on July 16, 2021, in the trunk of a parked car in southwest Houston. The vehicle had been in a parking garage for several days before someone reported a foul odor; officers located the body in the 4600 block of Wild Indigo Street around 5:30 p.m. on that Friday. Due to the condition of the remains it was initially difficult for police to determine gender, which was later confirmed to be Julian.

Born November 13, 1991, in Pietrasanta, Italy, he is remembered by family as a son, father to two children named Giancarlo and Scarlett, brother and friend, and as a creative person who practiced dance, martial arts and gymnastics and expressed himself through poetry and music. The Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division has ruled the death a homicide and continues to investigate; no arrests or suspects have been announced and police have released no further details.

Did anyone in southwest Houston around mid-July 2021 see the car or notice anything unusual in that parking garage?
