Topanga area patrol officers arrived to find a man, identified by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office as Jeffrey Howe, on the floor in a room at a hotel. Officials said the man’s feet were tied together and his hands were handcuffed behind his back. Strangulation marks were visible on his neck. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene.
Detectives learned that the victim was discovered by a security guard and manager of the Extended Stay America location. The victim had been staying at the hotel since July.Steve Castro, a homicide detective with LAPD’s Valley Bureau, said they have identified leads on suspects and a motive, but declined to release details of the ongoing investigation.
