Officials are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man found “lying in a pool of blood” at the famous Burning Man art and music festival over the weekend.
The homicide occurred on Aug. 30, between 8 and 9:30 p.m. local time, according to the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office.
The Labor Day weekend event drew tens of thousands of “Burners” – or participants – working to build an entire city from the ground up in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Authorities believe festival-goers could provide new information leading to the identification of the victim.

“At this time, no information is too small to disregard,” Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen added.
Burning Man officials said in a statement that they are cooperating with law enforcement and urged visitors to not impede the investigation, according to The Associated Press.
“The safety and well-being of our community are paramount,” the statement said, adding that support services are available to participants.
The organization did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
