Louisville, Ky., homicide detectives have identified the man whose injured body was found this morning in one of the barns at Churchill Downs a day after the Kentucky Derby as Adan Fabian Perez, a 48-year-old from Guatemala.
Perez’s body was discovered just before 5 a.m. in Barn No. 8, four barns away from where I’ll Have Another, the horse that won the derby, was kept.
He was identified by his 19-year-old son, Wilson Deejesus Fabian Perez.
Perez worked for horse trainer Cecil Borel, the brother of veteran jockie Calvin Borel. Perez started working for Borel in 2008 as a groomer.
“We found evidence of injuries that lead us to believe he was involved in an altercation and that foul play was involved,” Louisville Metro Police spokewoman Alicia Smiley told ABCNews.com.
