Sheriff's Detectives Seek Assistance In North Highlands Homicide

NORTH HIGHLANDS (CBS13) - The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is seeking the public's help in the investigation into the death of a 62-year-old man killed late last month.

Manuel Reyes was walking near his home on Myrtle Avenue near Polk Street in North Highlands on May 27 at about 10:30 p.m. when he was assaulted by unknown suspects and knocked to the ground. He suffered head trauma and died in a hospital several days later as a result of his injuries.

Witnesses saw a dark-colored sedan with two black men outside the car and a female driver. The vehicle was seen fleeing the area where Reyes was found, heading west on Myrtle Avenue toward Watt Avenue.
