The Lakewood man found dead in\u00a0Lake Shenandoah County Park was the victim of a homicide, investigators have determined.<\/p>\n

The body of\u00a0Eliabit Mena, 18, was found Feb. 1 at the county park in his hometown, three days after his mother reported him missing, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The body was found at about 2:15 p.m. Feb. 1\u00a0by a woman walking her dog in the park, said Della Fave. The woman told police that a male was laying on the ground unresponsive, leading to a response from Lakewood police, the prosecutor\u2019s office\u2019s\u00a0Major Crimes Unit and Ocean County Sheriff\u2019s Department CSI unit.<\/p>\n

Mena\u2019s mother, Della Fave said, had reported her son missing Jan. 29, telling authorities he\u00a0was supposed to meet friends at Lake Shenandoah Park that day.\u00a0 His car was found unoccupied in the park\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n

The investigation by the prosecutor\u2019s office and Lakewood police\u00a0continues, Della Fave said, with assistance from the Ocean County Sherriff\u2019s Department CSI. The lead detectives in the case are OCPO Major Crime Unit Detective John Murphy and Lakewood PD Detective Lynn Miller.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is being encouraged to contact the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s Office at 732-929-2027, or the Lakewood Police Department at 732-363-0200.<\/p>\n
