Authorities have identified a man who was stabbed to death in Costa Mesa more than a week ago, but investigators haven’t been able to determine where he lived, police said Tuesday.

Floriberto Villasenor Cortes, 44, died at 5:30 p.m. May 30, about an hour after he was found bleeding on a lawn in the 2900 block of Peppertree Lane, according to police and Orange County coroner’s officials.

Police said they could not release more details about the killing.

Neighborhood residents told the Daily Pilot last week that they saw Villasenor Cortes and another man in a car together before the stabbing.

Coroner’s officials said an autopsy has been completed on Villasenor Cortes but declined to release details about his injuries.
