Nevada sheriffs are asking the public’s help in identifying a man killed on Saturday in an apparent homicide at the Burning Man festival.

In a statement on Monday, Pershing county sheriff Jerry Allen asked for assistance to identify the man, who was found dead in the futurist encampment of Black Rock City as the festival reaching its climax when an effigy – the eponymous burning man – was set alight.

“At this time, no information is too small to disregard, so do not hesitate to contact my office.”.

A murder investigation was launched on Sunday after a man was found “lying in a pool of blood” on Saturday night, police said.

That came after a festival-goer alerted a police officer that a man was found “lying on the ground, obviously deceased”.

Organizers with the Burning Man Project said it was cooperating with law enforcement.

In a statement, Burning Man officials asked those still on the playa not to interfere with law enforcement. »
