Dallas Fire-Rescue arrived and pronounced the victim dead, police said.

According to police, homicide detectives discovered that the location was an Airbnb that was being rented by a man and woman, both of whom are friends of the victim.

Police said the witnesses told detectives that they rented the apartment for the victim for the week while he waited to move into his new apartment, police said. According to police, Lampkin was supposed to check out of the apartment on May 6, but the witness went to the apartment to check on him after Lampkin stopped answering his phone.

Police said the witness then discovered Lampkin dead and went back to his apartment to call the police because he was afraid that the killer may have still been inside the location.

The witness told police that some of Lampkinand#39;s personal items also appeared to be missing from the unit.
