Fidel Cisneros, a 47-year-old Latino man, was found dead on April 4, 2010, on Hungry Valley Road, about five miles west of Interstate 5 in Gorman, California. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head. A passerby discovered his body around 3:13 p.m., and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Exposure to the elements made it difficult for the coroner to determine how long he had been at that location.

Authorities identified Cisneros by fingerprints and reported he had been homeless for several years, living at an encampment in Torrance when he died. The remote discovery site suggested he may have been killed elsewhere and dumped, and the homicide was investigated by Sheriff’s homicide Detective Linda Muse. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and investigators say the transient nature of his lifestyle and a lack of witnesses have complicated the probe. Anyone with information is asked to contact law enforcement or Crime Stoppers.
