Raleigh police investigate man's death

Police found the body, later identified as 48-year-old Jurgen Dietmar Cheston, around 6 p.m. while checking on the welfare of the resident.

Cheston's pickup truck, a dark blue 2001 Ford Ranger, was not at the residence but was located overnight by officers in the 3800 block of Brentwood Road, Sughrue said. The license tag had been removed from the vehicle.

It is not known when the crime occurred; however, Cheston had not been seen by coworkers for approximately one week.

He said that Cheston was known to frequent Hispanic-oriented entertainment venues such as nightclubs, and detectives want to talk with people who knew him in that context.
