Stamford police found the bloody and battered body of 30-year-old Leonel Antonio Rios-Hernandez on Monday night in the bedroom of his Daly Street home.
It was a very bloody crime scene, Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said. The victim appeared to have suffered blunt-force trauma to his head and body. Police were waiting for more information from an autopsy to be performed Wednesday. The autopsy was originally scheduled for Tuesday but had to be pushed back a day, Conklin said.
The investigation did not get off to a good start, Conklin said, because many of the people interviewed spoke Spanish. Officers had a difficult time communicating. Police are following up on leads after speaking with many family members, friends and business associates.
Officers also canvassed the area around Daly Street and collected evidence for forensic testing as well. The investigation remains open.
Anyone with information about Rios-Hernandez death is asked to call the Stamford Police Detectives Bureau at 203-977-4417.
