The divers were looking for evidence in the investigation, she said.

No other information was released “due to this case actively being under investigation,” she added.

Urbano, 21, was found lying on the street by officers who were called to the Hidden Lake mobile home park after receiving word of a person injured.

He had a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said a dark-colored sedan that fled the scene may have been involved in the slaying.
