Investigators Search For Answers In East Mesa Death
Investigation
June 10, 2008
On June 9, 2008 at 10:30 p.m. the Mesa Police Department
received a phone call from a person stating that they had found
their friend dead in his east Mesa residence.
Officers responded to the residence located at 11428 E.
Queensborough Avenue and made entry. Investigators located a
deceased male within the residence. There were signs of trauma
to the body of the deceased male; however, it has not been
determined how the injuries were inflicted. He was later
identified as 30-year-old Travis Alexander of Mesa.
The body was discovered after friends of the deceased became
worried about his welfare after not hearing from him for several
days. They contacted the police after discovering the body
inside the residence.
At this time investigators have not labeled this death
investigation as a homicide or a suicide. Further information
will be provided as the case progresses.
