On December 18, 2023, the body of a man was discovered in Dallas, Texas, leading to an investigation to identify and locate his next of kin. The deceased, identified as Calec Josue Medina-Pena, remains unclaimed and the efforts to reach out to any family members or acquaintances have proven fruitless so far. His case is being documented under the Namus ID: UCP116684.
The circumstances surrounding Calec's death remain unclear, as the authorities continue their efforts in piecing together the events leading up to his passing. The Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science is tasked with handling this case and is actively seeking to gather more information about Calec's life and any potential relatives who might be able to claim his body. Despite extensive outreach efforts, little to no information has been uncovered about Calec's connections or background in Dallas or elsewhere.
The agency encourages anyone with information regarding Calec Josue Medina-Pena or his relatives to come forward and assist with the identification and notification processes.
