A man who was found dead in a Barrio Logan alley with trauma to the upper body, prompting a homicide investigation, was identified Thursday.
Maurice William Daniels, 50, was believed to be homeless and frequented the area near the alley on Logan Avenue where he was found not breathing at about 6:30 a.m., San Diego Police Department (SDPD) Lt. Matt Dobbs said.
Despite rescue efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
SDPD homicide detectives were called to investigate.
A woman was spotted with the man at about 11:30 p.m. Monday, Dobbs said. It was unclear if police were looking to speak with her as a witness or if she was a person of interest.
