“It looked like he was assaulted and dumped in the street. He was taken to the hospital and passed on the following day, Friday, November 19, 2021. The unknown man has no identification marks and looks like he can be in his late 40s.

The investigating officer did her investigation and nothing came of it. No family came forward to report him missing so this was the last resort.”
