Police Seek Help in Identifying Slain Latino
Police hope the public can help identify a man whose body was found May 1 in a South-Central alley, authorities said.
The body of the man, described as a Latino in his mid-30s--was found in an alley east of Long Beach Avenue and south of 57th Street, said LAPD Officer Eduardo Funes. The man had apparently been shot several times, wrapped in a blanket and then dumped in the alley, Funes said.
The man had no identification, Funes said. He was about 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed about 165 pounds and had brown hair and eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives Flores or Spillane at (323) 846-6547.
