Corpus Christi Police are investigating a murder that happened on the 1400 block of Martin Luther King Drive at 7:08pm Wednesday night.

The 43-year-old man was taken to the hospital by ambulance, but did not survive his injuries. Corpus Christi Police Homicide Detectives arrived on the scene to gather information and evidence.
