Nevada sheriffs are asking the public's help in identifying a man killed on Saturday in an apparent homicide at the Burning Man festival.

In a statement on Monday, Pershing county sheriff Jerry Allen asked for assistance to identify the man, who was found dead in the futurist encampment of Black Rock City as the festival reaching its climax when an effigy - the eponymous burning man - was set alight.
