SAN DIEGO—Authorities Jan. 30 publicly identified a Chula Vista man found stabbed to death over the weekend in a South Bay open-space preserve.
The body of Jose Gonzalez, 49, was discovered in the western reaches of Otay Valley Regional Park in Chula Vista shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday, according to the San Diego Police Department.
Investigators determined that Gonzalez, whose family had reported him missing the previous day, was fatally assaulted during an argument with another man, Lt. Steve Shebloski said.
Detectives soon identified the alleged killer as 18-year-old Milton Zuzun Tax, a resident of Mexico.
Tax, who was jailed Saturday on an unrelated vandalism charge, was re-booked Monday morning on suspicion of first-degree murder. He was being held at San Diego Central Jail without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon….
