West Jordan police were investigating a homicide after finding the body of a man left in the street near his own home early Wednesday morning.
Police identified the victim as 22-year-old Dan Zuniga-Guzman.
His body was found following a 1:30 a.m. call reporting a possible traffic accident near 6700 South and 4800 West, said Detective J.C. Holt. The caller reported that there was “some sort of commotion” followed by cars speeding off, Holt said.
When officers arrived, they found Zuniga-Guzman dead in the street, close to his own home, Holt said.
He had “suspicious, traumatic” injuries that led officers to believe his death was a homicide.
Holt said his injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car, but specifics about the injuries were not available Wednesday.
The investigation was ongoing.
Information on any suspects or suspect vehicles in the case was not available, Holt said, but officers were looking into leads. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call dispatch at 801-840-4000.
