Decomposed body found in ditch

July 29, 2008 - 9:00 pm
 

The decomposed body of a man who had been shot in the head was found by police Monday morning in a drainage ditch near Washington Avenue and Lamb Boulevard.

Metropolitan Police Department homicide Lt. Lew Roberts said the man's body had probably been in the ditch for a few days. The body was decomposed so badly police couldn't determine the man's race.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call the homicide section at 828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
