Police found his body when they were called to the vacant Croydon Apartments on 49th Street near Locust about 6 a.m. He had been beaten and kicked to death. The slaying, the city’s 186th of the year, happened about three hours after another man was shot to death in an unrelated incident in Strawberry Mansion, police said.
