The skeleton of the deceased male was found on July 5, 2011 in the bushes behind a Lancaster Walmart. 

The Homicide Bureau will be open on Wednesday at 10:00 am and is located at 5747 Rickenbacker Road in Commerce, California. 

A forensic artist has drawn a sketch portraying what the deceased man may have looked like.

Authorities have described the man as being possibly white or Hispanic, with blonde or reddish hair. He is also believed to have been 22-52 years old and  5 foot 2 to 5 foot 9 inches tall.

Detectives say he had a partially healed injury on the left side of his head, a healed broken nose and some dental work done.
