posted (February 13, 2024)
Following the harrowing discovery of 19 year old Josh Ku's body yesterday, police have now diverted their efforts towards finding a second suspect.

Today they issued a wanted notice for 19 year old Steven Diaz.

So far, police investigations show that early on Sunday morning, Ku, along with three others and Diaz, had departed the night club in a Toyota Matrix driven by 19 year old Jared Manzur. Shortly thereafter, while passing the BSI factory a physical altercation occurred between Ku, Diaz and Manzur which ended in Ku being knocked unconscious.

Police believe that the other men then took Ku to mile 38 on the Philip Goldson highway where they dragged him out of the vehicle to a grassy area 170 meters off the road where they stabbed and beat him to death- and left his body there.

Police managed to uncover a cell phone and wallet at the scene. Police urge the public to contact them if anyone has any information on Diaz's whereabouts.
