The man was found dead in a shed in the 2200 block of Sullivant Ave in Columbus, police say, on Dec. 19.
The photo provided was made by a forensic artist based on photos taken after the man died, at the request of Franklin County Coroner’s Office.
Authorities believe he is a Hispanic man who sometimes went by Pedro.
The man is described as around 50-years-old, around five feet and two inches tall, weighing 154 pounds with shaggy, dark grey hair, a mustache and a beard, according to the press release.
The man had no tattoos, scars or piercings, the release said, but he was found with two rosaries around his neck.
Anyone with information is asked to call BCI at 855-BCI-OHIO (855-224-6446) or the Franklin County Coroner’s Office at 614-525-5290.
