Lafayette Police say they are now investigating the body found Friday as a homicide.
On Friday, Kao Wokoma, 36, of Lafayette was found by an LCG work crew clearing debris from a coulee near Hillside Drive.
The crew was cleaning a nearby coulee when they picked up what they believed was garbage and put it into a nearby dumpster. Shortly after, they realized something was wrong, discovered the body, and called 911, according to Sgt. Wayne Griffin, spokesperson for the Lafayette Police Department.
The investigation is continuing.
