Authorities are looking for help in identifying two people seen near a trail where a man was murdered late last month.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the victim, 66-year-old Cuauhtemoc Garcia, was shot to death while walking on the Coyote Creek Bikeway in Cerritos on Feb. 25 around 12:30 p.m.
The Coyote Creek Bikeway is 5.8 miles long, and according to Metrolink — which has a webpage offering riders information on trails near train stations — the trail is “immensely popular” with road bikers, trail runners and walkers.
No further details surrounding the circumstances of Garcia’s murder were released; however, LASD did include a photo of two people – a man and a woman – who were seen in the area at the time of the murder and are requesting the public’s help in identifying them.
Anyone with information is urged to contact LASD Homicide detectives Louie Aguilera or Yoon Nam by calling 323-890-5500.
