Gallup Police Department Lt. Rosanne Morrissette said the man found west of King Dragon restaurant May 2  has been identified as Fredlin Allison, 30, of Rock Springs, N.M.

Morrissette said a Community Service Aide worker recognized the deceased man from taking him to the Na’nizhoozhi Center Inc. Gallup Detox Center in the past. When his name was located, police were able to ID him via the state’s Motor Vehicles Division. From there, police contacted family members who were able to identify Allison based on appearance discriptions alone.

“They identified him through the rings he was wearing and other descriptors,” Morrissette said.

“It doesn’t look like there was any foul play,” she said, adding that the body of Allison was sent to Albuquerque for an autopsy and toxicology testing.

Allison’s death is the tenth open area death of the 2015-16 Winter/cold season.

Gallup Community Service Aides’ pick up inebriated individuals and take them to the local detox center.
