Oh cemetery hands down - hope this is an isolated event that will be forgotten in a few years. That cemetery is a permanent presence for all to see. I wonder if some of the construction workers got into an altercation and one killed another- unexpected and always sad to hear 20 year olds dying.
 
One thing gp sg and sv residents will have to deal with... Funeral motorcades.

The body was found on the site of that proposed K-8 IUSD school (north east corner of Wolf Trail & Orchard Hills), across from Corte Bella.

POrtola parkway is closed at jeffrey. Is it related to the homicide investigation?

Suspect arrested in killing of man found at Irvine construction site
Police said Friday that they have arrested a suspect in the killing of a man whose body was found at an Irvine construction site last year.

Jacob Michael Margo, 21, of Santa Ana was taken into custody Thursday on suspicion of murder, Irvine Police Department spokeswoman Farrah Emami said. Margo was booked into Orange County Jail with bail set at $1 million.

Detectives began investigating the homicide on the morning of June 5 after a group of workers arrived at the construction site near Wolf Trail and Orchard Hills and discovered a body later identified as Octavio Jesus Alcala, 19, of Santa Ana.

"The victim was located face-down in a remote, graded construction area that did not have any buildings," according to the Police Department's announcement.

Police said they served multiple search warrants in an "extensive investigation" before arresting Margo, but officials declined to release more details because the investigation is continuing. Authorities have not said how Alcala died.
