BILOXI -- A homeless veteran's brother said the family had worried about his safety and health for years, but they never imagined he'd be killed.

Michael Paul Flatz, 65, had served two tours of duty in Vietnam in the U.S. Army and had lived in the Biloxi area about 10 years, said Stephen Flatz of Chesterton, Ind.

Biloxi police believe Michael Flatz was assaulted Wednesday night or early Thursday. A friend found him dead at his campsite, where he lived alone in a clump of trees south of Pass Road near Jim Money Road.
