The death of a man found dead at an abandoned business has been ruled a homicide, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office.
San Antonio police said the body was found early last Monday morning with trauma to his head, next to a “large pool of blood,” in the 2000 block of Fredericksburg Road near West Rosewood Avenue.
The medical examiner’s office identified the man Sunday as 62-year-old Perry Baca and ruled his cause of death as blunt force injuries to the head.
SAPD said someone at the abandoned business had notified an officer to check on the man, but was pronounced dead on the scene.
It’s unclear when the man was killed, SAPD said. The department’s homicide unit is currently investigating.
Noah Rayden West was arrested last Monday following the discovery of Baca’s body as well as another male body found less than half a mile away with “visible injuries.”
