Body Found: Police Seek Damaged F-150
28 Aug
Summary
- A man's decomposed body was discovered Wednesday in Southeast Bexar County.
- Investigators are searching for a damaged 2004-2008 Ford F-150.
- The victim was likely killed in a hit-and-run incident.
Investigators in Bexar County are seeking the public's assistance in locating a damaged Ford F-150, a vehicle believed to have struck and killed a man whose body was found on Wednesday. The truck is identified as a 2004-2008 model, featuring damage to its front passenger side and reportedly missing its passenger-side headlight assembly. Authorities have not yet located the vehicle.
The grim discovery was made by a crew cutting grass in the 8500 block of Hildebrandt Road. The victim's body was found concealed in dense vegetation approximately six to ten feet from the roadway. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, the man, estimated to be in his 30s or 40s, could not be immediately identified. Law enforcement officials suspect he had been deceased for at least three to five days prior to being found.
Evidence at the scene, including injuries to the man's lower body, strongly suggests he was a victim of a hit-and-run. Sheriff Javier Salazar indicated that investigators are considering similarities to a recent missing person case in the area, though a definitive link has not yet been established. Anyone with information regarding the vehicle or the incident is urged to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
