San Mateo County Sheriff’s detectives are still investigating an apparent homicide after a 32-year-old Pacifica man’s body was found on Skyline Boulevard near the El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve at 11:35 p.m. Monday, June 17.

The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office this afternoon identified the dead man as Abdulmalek Nasher. No other details are available at this time.

Sara Stinson of KRON 4 News reported on Twitter that a white Toyota taxi that appears to be from Skyline Yellow Cab out of Pacifica was towed from the scene, and that the Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the car was involved with the case under investigation.
