In a wooded area, just blocks from the the State Capitol, a man's body was discovered, his death now considered a homicide.
The man, identified as 47-year-old David Winchester, Jr. of Baltimore, was found unresponsive around 8:30 Thursday morning.
Baltimore Police said overnight two men forcefully entered the Southwest Baltimore home of Winchester's mother demanding money.
The suspects claimed to be holding Winchester, and threatened to harm him if they didn't get the cash.
Both eventually fled the location without the money in an unknown car.
Winchester's body was located on Spa Road less than 8-hours later.
Anyone with information is asked to contact homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.
