Anniston police are searching for answers and information about an assault-turned-murder of a homeless man on Feb. 12 on 18th Street.
Investigators said a 48-year-old man was assaulted by three other men between midnight and 3 a.m. on 18th Street possibly around Wilmer Avenue.
The man was reportedly beaten around his head and neck with fists and possibly a blunt object, said police reports.
It doesn't appear that robbery was the motive for the assault, said investigator Wayne Willis.
According to Willis, the man managed to walk to a laundromat at 1731 Wilmer Avenue where he called 911.
He was treated at a local hospital for hemorrhaging caused by a broken jaw and died on Feb. 22 from his injuries, said police reports.
Willis said the man had no identification with him and no family members have come forward. Police are asking for anyone with information about the man or the incident to contact them at 238-1800 or to call Crime Stoppers at 238-1414.
