The San Diego County Sheriff's Homicide Unit took jurisdiction Wednesday over the death of a man found beside a park bench in the 9100 block of Carlton Hills Boulevard at approximately 4:20 p.m. on September 9. The location sits directly adjacent to the Mast Park area, a well-traveled corridor frequented by walkers, cyclists, and park visitors.
Homicide detectives do not respond to every unattended death, and the unit's involvement signals that investigators determined the circumstances warranted a deeper examination. The Sheriff's Department has stated explicitly that it does not believe there is a current ongoing threat to the public in the area. Authorities have not released the man's identity, a cause of death, or any information regarding manner of death or suspected motive; those determinations will be made by the Medical Examiner's office.
Anyone who was in the Carlton Hills Boulevard area near Mast Park on Wednesday afternoon and observed anything is asked to contact the Sheriff's tip line at 858-285-6330. Crime Stoppers can also be reached and accepts anonymous tips. The case remains active and open.
