Police Find A Match For Quiet Waters Skeletal Remains

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- Anne Arundel County police have identified the man whose skeletal remains were found in Quiet Waters Park this summer.

On August 28 around 11 a.m., officers located skeletal remains after a tip.

After investigating, police learned the remains belong to 22-year-old Jose Hernandez-Portillo, who was initially reported missing in March 2016.

Investigators could not tell how long the remains had been there, but there was evidence of trauma and the death was ruled a homicide.

Detectives believe Hernandez-Portillo was murdered around the time of his disappearance and that he was targeted.

The incident is still under investigation.
