DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) - Police in southwestern Kansas are investigating the death of a teen whose decomposing body was found inside a Dodge City home.
The body of 18-year-old Zacarias Giannino, of Dodge City, was found Sunday night by officers after someone reported knowledge of a body at the residence.
An examination by the Ford County coroner determined Giannino had been dead for at least a few weeks. An autopsy was performed on Tuesday, police said, but Giannino’s cause of death was not immediately released.
Chief Drew Francis said several suspects were arrested Tuesday and early Wednesday but he did not release further details, The Dodge City Daily Globe reported.
The death is the first homicide in Dodge City since 2018.
