On the night of April 28, 2023, a tragic incident unfolded on a highway in Norcross, Georgia, involving a 60-year-old Hispanic male named Arquimves Escobar. As he emerged from a nearby wooded area and began traveling west along the highway, Escobar was unfortunately struck by a vehicle. His death marked a somber moment, with details surrounding his life and circumstances largely unknown at the time. The case of the deceased man has since remained unclaimed, registered under Namus ID: UCP113760.
The authorities arrived at the scene to investigate the accident and identified Escobar through paperwork found on his person. The documents revealed that he had recently been released from jail, which provided some insight into his recent past. However, with no family or acquaintances able to immediately come forward, the path to resolving his identity and notifying his next of kin stalled.
Responsibility for the case fell to the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 320 Hurricane Shoals Road, NE, Lawrenceville, Georgia. Under the case number 23G-0723, the office has been handling the investigation with the goal of finding any relatives or further identifying factors that could shed light on Escobar's life and untimely death. Those with information are encouraged to contact the Medical Examiner's Office directly via their contact number, 678-442-3160, as efforts continue to piece together the narrative of Arquimves Escobar’s final days and potentially reunite him with his family or community.
