The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a Latino man who was stabbed to death, said Craig Harvey, chief coroner investigator. The man’s body was found 25 feet south of the eastbound 118 Freeway, just west of De Soto Street in the Porter Ranch area about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19. He was approximately 5 feet 8 inches, between the ages of 18 to 24, and was wearing blue button-fly jeans, a gray shirt, a blue jacket, brown work boots and a yellow metal ring with three clear stones.

Anyone with information can call Investigator Daniel Machian at the L.A. County coroner identification unit, (323) 343-0754.
