Realtor Found Murdered in Foreclosed Home

Ricardo Contreras, 45. (KTLA / July 19, 2009)

 

WESTCHESTER — Authorities say a man who was found murdered inside a Westchester home being shown to a prospective buyer was not robbed.

Family members and neighbors have identified the victim as 45-year-old Ricardo Contreras.

Contreras, also a real estate agent, had been missing since Tuesday evening when he didn’t come home after work, his family members said. They had put out fliers in an effort to find the father of five.

Contreras’ body was discovered around 7 p.m. Saturday inside a foreclosed home located at 8917 Kittyhawk Avenue.

Police at the scene said a real estate agent was preparing to show the three-bedroom, two-bath house when she discovered the key was missing from the lockbox.

The agent then went with the client to the backyard and noticed a window had been broken.

Upon further investigation, they found the body of a man lying motionless on the living room floor, officials said.

The real estate agent called police, who had to wear masks inside the home because of the odor.

Paramedics pronounced the victim dead at the scene.

The coroner removed the body from the home around 10:30 p.m. An autopsy was being performed to determine the cause of death.

Police detectives called the death a homicide, and said a white car on the street may have belonged to the victim. Detectives towed the car to a police station for further investigation.

Family members tell KTLA that Contreras was stabbed multiple times.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Contreras was killed inside the house.

Investigators, searching for a motive in the murder, say Contreras was not robbed and still had his wallet, wedding ring and other personal belongings, including a lap top, in his possession.

The 1900-square foot house is owned by the bank and was being listed by the Modern Realty Co. for more than a half-million dollars.
