Police have arrested a landscaper after his 42-year-old supervisor was found dead on Wednesday, deliberately buried under brush and branches at a job site in San Rafael.
David Nunez Sanchez, a Pittsburg father of three, didn’t come home after working at a landscaping job at an apartment complex on North Ave. on Tuesday. The following day, a co-worker from Sanchez’s Concord-based landscaping company worked for drove out to site and found his work truck, locked and sitting in the same place he parked it, police said.
Sanchez had also been reported missing to Pittsburg Police by his family.
When officers searched the truck, they found his mobile phone and uneaten lunch.
Officers searched the area for about 40 minutes and eventually found his body, seemingly concealed. In interviewing each member of Sanchez’s crew, Miguel Jimenez Alejandre, a 33-year-old Bay Point man, allegedly confessed to killing his supervisor.
The cause of death was not immediately released.
Police haven’t said if Alejandre revealed any possible motive for the killing.
He’s been booked at the Marin County Jail on murder charges.
The incident is under investigation.
