The body of 21-year-old Christian Alexander Sosa Rivas was recovered on Thursday.
Prince William County police said in a statement that an autopsy was conducted on Friday, and the manner of death was determined to be homicide. Police have not detailed how he was killed, but they said he had trauma to the body.
