RENO, Nev. (AP) — Reno police say they have identified the homeless man found dead a few blocks from the downtown casino district and are actively pursuing leads in what they believe was a homicide.

Candelaria was lying face down with blood around his face about 7 a.m. Saturday when he was found unresponsive along the Truckee River bike trail near Lake Street. He was declared dead at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to call Reno police at 775-334-2188 or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900.
