Metro police detectives are pursuing leads in the stabbing death of a 30-year-old man whose body was found by a passerby Saturday afternoon near a parking lot at 810 Cherokee Ave., according to a statement released by the department.
The victim was identified as Jamal Moore.
Moore was found shortly before noon Saturday in a grass lot beside the parking lot.
