"Diego Perez" and "Julio Costa-Laso" were the aliases used by a man known to be involved in drug trafficking. He was found days after he overdosed in a vacant apartment, and was surrounded by large amounts of cash and drug paraphernalia. His body was eventually cremated.
The decedent had several run-ins with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and obtained a Texas identification card using his "Perez" alias. A previous photograph of the subject had the "Costa-Laso" alias written beneath.
