(Updated at 1:45 p.m.) A 27-year-old Arlington man reported missing by police earlier this week has been found dead.
Police say Oscar Flores “was located deceased in Fairfax County” yesterday.
“The investigation into his death is being handled by the Fairfax County Police Department,” Arlington County police said in a brief statement. No other information was given.
Previously, ACPD said Flores “was last seen on February 13, 2021, at approximately 8:00 p.m. in the area of the Dulles Toll Road and Wolf Trap in Fairfax County.”
A reader tells ARLnow that there was police activity yesterday afternoon near where Flores was last seen.
“Friend of mine was just driving out the Dulles Toll Road at Wolf Trap,” the reader said, prior to the announcement of Flores’ death. “They have about 20 police cars on the side of the road. And two lanes blocked.”
An Arlington police spokeswoman declined to comment on the report.
Tysons Reporter, ARLnow’s sister site, reported Thursday afternoon that Flores’ remains were found near Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, “in an area off the roadway near Trap Road.”
Currently, Fairfax County police do not suspect foul play in his death.
