Death Of Danny Torres: 1 Year Later, Investigation Continues

LANSDALE, PA — Police are trying to identify a man in connection with the killing of Daniel Torres one year ago.

Torres, 33, a beloved barber in Bridgeport and a native of Lansdale, was found dead inside the trunk of his car on May 9, 2018.

A year later, authorities are still puzzling together what happened to him after he left a friend's house on the first block of Elm Drive in Lansdale days earlier, on Sunday, April 29 between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.

On Friday, police circulated a video taken that Sunday evening. It's the same video that was released late last May, and the same unidentified is still being sought by authorities.
