Metro Police detectives have developed information leading to a person of interest after a man's body was found May 21 off State Route 160, the Blue Diamond Road near Forrester Street.

The man found dead, identified as 23-year-old Francisco Lambert-Cordero, who is a Cuban immigrant, had head wounds that led police to believe his death was foul play and not related to a traffic collision.

Homicide detectives also found that Lambert-Cordero had ties to Miami, police said.

Police are looking for Leandro Lopez-Turatis, who is 6-foot-3-inches tall, weighs 175 pounds and has dark brown hair and brown eyes.

Lopez-Turatis is also an immigrant from Cuba and was last seen driving a white 2001 Mercedes S500, Nevada license plate 960VRJ.
