lincoln-police(AP) — Lincoln police have identified a man whose body was found in a city park as a 27-year-old Lincoln resident.

Police identified the man as Jarvis James Long.

His body was found Thursday morning in Peter Pan Park, a neighborhood park that typically filled with children.

Officer Katie Flood says the body had obvious wounds, but police declined to release additional details.

The death is Lincoln’s first homicide of 2014 and the first killing in the city since Dec. 1.
