Homicide detectives are investigating the death of an unidentified man whose body was found in the desert near Palmdale, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported Friday.
The man appeared to have been shot to death, Deputy Hal Grant said. He was found about 6 p.m. Thursday by the driver of a four-wheel-drive vehicle in a remote desert area about two miles southwest of Avenue S and Tovey Avenue, Grant said.
The victim appeared to have been about 40 years old, Grant said. The body may have been dumped there, he said, but investigators did not estimate how long the man had been dead.
