A murder investigation was launched Sunday after apparent homicide as authorities ask public for help
Nevada sheriffs are asking the public’s help in identifying a man killed on Saturday in an apparent homicide at the Burning Man festival.
In a statement on Monday, Pershing county sheriff Jerry Allen asked for assistance to identify the man, who was found dead in the futurist encampment of Black Rock City as the festival reaching its climax when an effigy – the eponymous burning man – was set alight.
“We are specifically looking to identify the white male adult decedent who is between the ages of 35 and 40, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 lbs, with short brown hair and facial hair,” Allen said in a statement reported by the Reno Gazette Journal.
The sheriff’s office are looking for any information from people who heard or saw anything between 8 and 9.30pm.
