VALLEY CENTER : Family Finds Body of Man in Creek Bed
A family out for a walk in the country discovered the body of a man in a creek bed, San Diego County Sheriffs deputies said Sunday.
Investigators said the man had been shot once in the head, then dumped in the 11000 block of Bettsworth Road as much as a day before the discovery Saturday afternoon, deputies said.
The naked body, apparently that of either a Latino or a white man whose head was wrapped in a plastic bag, had not been identified, authorities said.
