Details include the images of a jacket and basketball shorts that were worn by the black male who was found dead on January 28th. A hunter located the remains off a stretch of Highway 301.

We are releasing the photos of the John Blaze jacket that had lettering around the hood 'Cash Rules Everything Around Me' and basketball shorts in an effort to generate new leads as to the individual's identity. Anyone recognizing this jacket or shorts should contact us immediately."
