Phoenix police investigating 'suspicious' death as a homicide

The 46-year-old man was found dead early Sunday morning, officials said.

PHOENIX — A man's "suspicious" death in Phoenix has been determined to be a case of homicide, police officials said.

Christian Brobeck, 46, was found dead near 33rd and Peoria avenues on Dec. 10 at about 2:45 a.m. His body had sustained "obvious signs of trauma," police said. 

The medical examiner later determined Brobeck's death was the result of homicide and detectives have begun to search for a suspect. 

Anyone with information about Brobeck's death is asked to call 480-WITNESS. Rewards may be given to those with information that leads to an arrest.
