Honk if you see a dead man

A man, as yet unidentified, was riding through the center of Tijauna, just south of San Diego, California and he had a little accident. The driver got up from the ground and fled the scene. Behind him, a dead passenger on the curb. A passenger that had died six hours earlier.

"When the police arrived they took the helmet off the corpse, believing at first that he had died in the crash," said Francisco Castro, a spokesman for the Baja California state police's homicide division. "But he had adhesive tape stuck to his face, a knife wound to his forehead, and showed signs of strangulation."

Castro said the dead man had wraps of methamphetamine in his pocket and an unkempt appearance, which led investigators to believe the killing was drug related.
