A man whose decomposed body was found near Gorman last weekend by firefighters battling a 100-acre brush fire was the victim of foul play and may have been shot, a homicide detective said Monday.
“We’re mode-ing it as a homicide,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide Detective Karen Shonka.
“There were some injuries to the skull and at least one that leads us to believe a firearm was involved,” she said. “We’re waiting on information from the coroner to confirm.
“Once we have the autopsy results, we’ll know better,” she said.
Investigators, including Shonka, were at a remote area off Highway 138 near Gorman on Sunday collecting bits of bone and other material in a bid to find out who the victim was and what killed him.
Investigators said the victim is apparently a male adult and he may have been dead four years.
