(NewsNation) — Puerto Rico police say they have identified a person of interest in the execution-style killing of an Ohio man who was fatally shot during a solo camping trip earlier this month, after he had texted friends about a mysterious "howler" outside his tent in the nights before his death.
Tyler Wilkin, 35, of Wilmington, Ohio, was found shot once in the head in the mangroves near Playa La Selva in Luquillo on July 10.
His body was discovered by a beachgoer during a morning walk just after 6 a.m., some distance from the campsite where his tent and belongings remained set up.

Police Superintendent Joseph González told the newspaper El Nuevo Día on Thursday that investigators have identified a person of interest but declined to release further details, saying he did not want to interfere with the investigation.

A three-judge panel on Wednesday denied a request from the Kennedy Center's board to restore President Donald Trump's name to the institution while the board appeals an earlier ruling that dubbed the name change illegal and had it rescinded.
It's another setback for the board of trustees, of which Trump is chairman, in a saga that began earlier this year when the Kennedy Center became: "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts."
The conspicuous addition, and ensuing legal battle, became symbolic of Trump's broader push to imprint his legacy — and, in this case, his actual name — on the nation's capital in his final term.
The panel of judges wrote Wednesday that the board of trustee's request "failed to show how they will be irreparably injured" if Trump's name remains off the building through the appeal process.
The board had argued that the removal "threatens to impede" fundraising efforts, but the judges found that claim came without the support of "specific facts or evidence."

Veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley called CBS leadership as incompetent and inexperienced in an emotional interview after he was fired from the storied broadcast. Pelley alleges editor-in-chief Bari Weiss directed his team to make ICE protestors look more violent, saying, "There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I have never seen in 37 years at CBS News." The three remaining correspondents, Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim, issued a joint statement saying they're staying with the program. NBC's Erin McLaughlin reports for TODAY.
