Police this afternoon identified a man whose body was found inside his Fremont home on Monday as 49-year-old Larry Lopez.
Lopez’s adult son found him dead at his home in the 100 block of Sycamore Street at about 1:30 p.m. Monday, police Sgt. Jeff Swadener said.
The cause of his death was determined in an autopsy Tuesday, but that information has not yet been released. Swadener said police believe Lopez was murdered.
“It appears he died at the hands of another,” he said.
No suspects are in custody, but police are following possible leads. Swadener said police are interviewing a number of witnesses, ranging from neighbors to nearby convenience store employees.
The death marks Fremont’s second homicide this year.
