Investigators were working Wednesday to identify a possible suspect or suspects behind a deadly assault on a man in Nuevo.
The fatality occurred Sunday morning in the area of Foothill Avenue and Nuevo Road, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
The agency said patrol deputies were called to the location around noon to investigate reports of a body.
“Responding deputies checked and located the deceased male,” the sheriff’s department said. “It was discovered the decedent had traumatic injuries, and the incident was determined to be a homicide.”
No other details were disclosed, including the victim’s identity, which was being withheld Wednesday due to challenges finding his next of kin for notification.
No arrests have been made. It was unclear whether authorities had identified persons of interest.
Anyone with information about the case was asked to contact the sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777.
