Jose Merced Huerta-Morales, a 36-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead inside his Browns Summit, North Carolina, home on December 28, 2014. His nephew discovered the body after going to the house at 7301 Friendship Church Road to help feed chickens and rabbits and, when Jose did not answer the door, saw him lying on the floor. Authorities were called about 3:30 p.m. that Sunday.

Deputies found Huerta-Morales bound with tape and suffering from a gunshot wound. The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office treated the death as a homicide, and medical examiner Timothy McNeal assisted in determining time of death. Investigators canvassed the neighborhood seeking leads.

The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information that could help identify suspects or clarify what happened, please share it with investigators. Who might have known Jose’s routine or been in that area on December 28, 2014?
