Daniel Cruz, 53, was found dead on July 1, 2016, in a remote desert area of southwest Las Vegas. Authorities determined he died of multiple injuries caused by an assault, and his death was ruled a homicide. Investigators noted the body may have been moved to the desert after the killing rather than the scene of the attack.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department worked to trace Cruz’s last known movements and to identify motives or suspects, but early details remained limited. His family urged anyone with information or who might have seen suspicious activity around that time to contact investigators.

Does anyone recall seeing anything unusual in the southwest valley desert area around late June or early July 2016, or have information about Cruz’s last movements?
