Loganville Man Might Have Been Killed by Trash Compactor

An agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that while officials haven't ruled out homicide in the death of 59-year-old Raul C. Alayon, a Loganville man originally from Uruguay, they are looking at all options.

Those options include the possibility Alayon could have been killed by a trash compactor.

"There were no other visible signs of stabbing or a gunshot wound," said GBI Agent Jesse Maddox. "He died of blunt force trauma to his entire body."

In a press release, the GBI said Ayalon was last seen alive late Monday night / early Tuesday morning in a commercial area off U.S. Highway 78 and Rosebud Road in Gwinnett County. The investigation revealed sanitation trucks empty receptacles in that area and use the Monroe Transfer Station as a drop off location. The body was found by City of Monroe Public Works employees Tuesday morning at the Monroe transfer station.

Maddox said the investigation continues and no possibilities have been ruled out at this point. Officers are continuing to ask anyone with any information related to this investigation to contact one of the following:

GBI Athens Office:                                                706-552-2309

Monroe Police Department:                                    770-267-7576
