Police in Houston are looking into the discovery of 19 people inside a one-bedroom apartment in southwest Houston on Wednesday afternoon.

When officers arrived, they discovered 19 men and women, including an unaccompanied minor aged 13 to 16, living in the one-bedroom apartment, according to KPRC.

Officers reported that the apartment was unfurnished and that the residents were living in “deplorable conditions.”

“Nobody appeared to need immediate medical attention and nobody was immediately claiming injury, but as we know from dealing with these situations, folks in that position don’t always immediately make an outcry. So we’ve also brought our victim services division to the scene to see what they may be able to do to help these people,” said HPD Asst. Chief Michael Skillern.
