Body Found in Fullerton Is Identified
A gunshot victim whose body was dumped beside a road two weeks ago was identified Thursday as George Kosta Perikli, 62, of Hollywood.
A jogger discovered Perikli’s body about 7 a.m. on May 1 in the 3200 block of Rolling Hills Drive, just south of Imperial Golf Course.
He had been shot in the head and torso, and his body was rolled in a piece of carpet, police said.
The identification was made by Long Beach police, who had been investigating Perikli’s disappearance from a carpet and linoleum store he owned in Long Beach.
