The man who was was found shot to death March 1 has been identified, and two men have confessed to the crime, police say.

Xavier Jamar Clinton, 27, was found shot to death in an apartment complex in the 10900 block of Tanner Park Court about 8:30 p.m. March 1, after police got a report of shots being fired.

At the time, HPD had little information to go on and no known suspects.

An investigation led them to Manuel Rivera-Sanchez, 20, and Israel Soriano, 21. HPD says "both were arrested after confessing to their roles in shooting Clinton."
