ARLINGTON, Va. — Arlington County Police are investigating the first homicide of the year. A 28-year-old man was discovered with upper body trauma in an apartment in the Buckingham neighborhood on Wednesday. 

Public Information Officer Ashley Savage said officers were called to the 100 block of N.

Police later identified the man as 28-year-old Sean Bowman. Police do not believe he lived in the apartment where he was found. Investigators identified him as having no fixed address. 

Savage did not say exactly how Bowman died, but said he suffered "upper body trauma." The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine cause and manner of death.

Homicide detectives are currently investigating. Additional details were not immediately available.
