A man is believed to have been beaten to death with a metal pipe on the Ellipse in downtown Washington, D.C.

Investigators say a jogger found the man early Wednesday morning in the high-profile part of the nation’s capital near both the White House and Washington Monument, and flagged down a Secret Service agent just before 9 a.m. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, according to FOX 5 DC.

D.C. Police Assistant chief Morgan Kane said during a media briefing investigators located video that showed an altercation in the area just after 6:30 a.m. Officers say the metal pipe believed to have been used in the attack was found at the scene.

Kane said the video led investigators to a person of interest, who at last check police stopped and spoke with. She added that it appears both the victim and person of interest are homeless.
