Person of Interest Identified in Murder of Victim Found in Aqueduct
FRESNO – The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office has identified a man they believe could have information regarding the death of a 20-year-old woman last week.
On July 30, workers discovered the body of Megan Troen in the California Aqueduct, near Nees Ave and Interstate 5 in the Firebaugh area. The sheriff’s office identified Kaleo Schreiner, 21, of Tracy, as a person of interest in the case.
Schreiner and Troen, who have been acquaintances for several years, left Troen’s house in Tracy together on July 20, according to the sheriff’s office.
“The two were supposed to be gone a short time, but neither returned to the home in Tracy. The next day, Troen’s family members filed a missing person’s report with law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said.
Troen had a diminished mental capacity and functioned at a lower level than a normal person her age, the sheriff’s office said.
Authorities have not revealed how she was killed, but have identified her death as a homicide.
Schreiner is described as 6 feet and 300 pounds. He has several tattoos, including a rifle above his right eyebrow, the letters “LV” on his right cheek, and a microphone on his neck. He may be driving a 2001 black Lexus IS 300 with license number 6SLZ045.
Anyone who sees Schreiner should not approach him, as he may be armed, but should instead call law enforcement immediately, the sheriff’s office said.
Troen is the victim of Fresno County’s seventh homicide of the year.
