An openly gay Dallas man was murdered and dismembered inside his apartment on or before Sept. 4, according to police, and the jailed suspect's father speculated that his son was involved in prostitution.

However, one longtime friend of the victim maintained it wouldn't have been like 38-year-old Richard Hernandez to solicit sex, while another warned against jumping to conclusions.

Hernandez is presumed dead after Dallas police discovered a gruesome murder scene inside his apartment at 3939 Rosemeade Parkway in Far North Dallas, according to an arrest warrant. As of Thursday, Sept. 11, Hernandez's remains had yet to be found.
