Neighbors indicated Oliver lived in the camper and may have done odd jobs for the owner of the business. But no one that CBS4 spoke with at the scene knew the deceased's name.

A GoFundMe page was started the day after the murder in hopes of raising money to transport Oliver's body home to California.

"We're treating it as a homicide investigation so it's concerning that whoever responsible is currently at large, " said DPD's Doug Schepman.
