Investigators named a “person of interest” Wednesday in connection with the death of a 35-year-old woman found dead in Huntington Beach last week.
The homicide investigation began Friday afternoon when the body of Nicole Marquisee was found in a residence on the 1100 block of England Street.
No details surrounding the death of Marquisee, who is from Walnut, have been revealed but investigators are now identifying 35-year-old Christopher Mendez of Diamond Bar as a person of interest in the case.
“Mendez was in a dating relationship with the victim,” the Huntington Beach Police Department stated in an update on the investigation.
The update did not provide any further information about Mendez, his relationship with the victim or his whereabouts.
