I have just read on DoeNetwork that he used the nickname “Kid.”
There are also new details about the circumstances in which he was found. Apparently, he had been living in one of the apartments in the building where he worked as a guard. The door to his apartment had reportedly been forced open, and he was discovered deceased inside.
According to the report, he died of gunshot wounds while working night security at the renovation project.
