San Diego Police Department – ​​NBC 7 San Diego

Police have not yet determined the cause of death of a man they found in an alley in San Diego’s Serra Mesa neighborhood on Saturday, and the victim has not yet been identified, officials said Sunday evening.

San Diego Police were called to the 2800 block of Greyling Drive around 2:45 p.m. by a neighbor who made a shocking discovery.

When officers arrived in the alley, they found the man apparently dead.

“Due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the man’s death and out of an abundance of caution, police homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate,” SDPD said in a press release issued Sunday.

Although the investigation is still early, SDPD detectives say the man, who was in his 30s or 40s, appears to have died elsewhere and that his body was taken to the alley and left there. Investigators are seeking surveillance camera footage and witnesses to the incident.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to CrimeStoppers at (888) 580-8477.
