Investigators are searching for clues in a cold case to help identify a man who was found murdered in Inglewood.
On Feb. 19, 1991, authorities discovered the man’s body in a dumpster and partially hidden under trash and debris. The dumpster was located in an alleyway near a residential area, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He appeared to be a white male between 55 to 75 years old. He was 6 feet tall and weighed around 155 pounds, with receding brown hair and a brown mustache.
“The victim had several scars that were believed to be from past surgeries regarding damage to the interior chest cavity, potentially related to a past traffic accident,” FBI officials said.
He had a scar on his left chest, a scar on the right side of his back and several moles on his abdomen. He was also found wearing a unique belt, which authorities included in a sketch.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, and no suspect has been arrested. The victim did not have any personal belongings to help detectives identify him.
Investigators ask anyone who may recognize the man or has information on the case to call Inglewood police investigator Sean Sterle at 310-412-5116 or email ssterle@cityofinglewood.org.
