The discovery of a 24-year-old Black man hanging from a tree near Palmdale City Hall this week has sparked alarm in the Antelope Valley as investigators try to determine whether his death was caused by suicide or if foul play was involved.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the man was identified as Robert L. Fuller.
A man walking by Poncitlán Square at 3:39 a.m. saw the body in the 38300 block of Ninth Street East, and fire personnel were dispatched, authorities said.
