Man found dead in Indiana ditch identified as Venezuelan national who lived in Oregon
Police on Wednesday revealed a man whose body was discovered in a ditch in Northwest Indiana was thousands of miles from home.
Police said just before 9:30 a.m. this past Friday, a cleanup crew was working on I-65 near Crown Point. While working along the ramp from U.S. 231 to southbound I-65, they found the body lying in the ditch.
The man found dead has now been identified as Daniel Ramos-Rivas, 23, a Venezuelan national whose last known residence was in Tillamook County, Oregon, along the Pacific coastline west of Portland.
Indiana State Police said Ramos-Riva’s death was a homicide, and two people have been arrested in Seattle by the FBI as suspects. So far, these two people have not been charged.
Investigators also said Thursday that they are searching for Ramos-Rivas’ family.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
