Carlos Manzanares, a 44-year-old Hispanic man, was reported missing on November 25, 2018 and found dead two days later in a field near South Grand Avenue and West Euclid Avenue in DeLand, Florida. Volusia County deputies determined he had been shot to death and classified the case as a homicide.

Investigators identified 69-year-old Reinaldo Martinez as a person of interest early in the inquiry. Martinez was arrested shortly after Manzanares’s body was discovered and charged with second-degree murder; authorities say the charges were based on crime-scene evidence and witness statements. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear as the investigation and legal process moved forward.

Family and friends remembered Manzanares as a husband, father and friend and the community offered support to his loved ones. Does anyone have information about Manzanares’s last known movements or contacts in DeLand in late November 2018?
